I had this happen with a group of my old friends we use to talk all the time but as we all got older we stopped talking because we became busy with our own lives and slowly but surely grew apart and gained new interested different from one another. It's sad when it happens and reaching out can help but for me I've learned to accept it and now and again think back on it but I usually have my own things going on as well. However it can't hurt to try, it may feel awkward but whats the worst that can happen, you get rejected?

Life is full of changes and although it is nice to keep up with friends we have times in our lives when for one reason or another we grow apart. At least with face book you can follow them a little and maybe reconnect at a future time.

Yes and no generally do not reach out to them; sometime they were in my life for a reason, some for a season and the ones that are lifetime have remained so.

I think this sadly happens to most of us.  I had friends who we were in contact all the time, but for one reason or another things happen and you sort of just drift away.  I guess we sometimes get caught up in our own lives and family we just grow apart.  I have friends like that who now we are just birthday and Christmas card friends.  :(

That has happened to most of my friends.  Generally, once someone gets married and starts a family, they have much less time for their friends.

As sad as it is I have grown apart from almost all of my friends. I talk to a few of them but not very often.

No.  I have people I thought were my friends or people who just quit talking to me for no reason or if there is a reason I have no idea what it is.  Not a lot of point in asking what the issue is because the usually won't tell you.  So, no I usually don't reach out.  I just go on with life. lol

i really have no friends at this point that i actually spend any time with.  it seems that once i left my place of employment or once they left so did our friendship.  now we only talk online once in a while with a promise to hang out some day soon but that day never seems to come.  being a stay at home mom i am also limited in people that i meet because of the fact that we only have one car so i am basically stuck at home until my husband comes home and even then i dont go out unless he drives us somewhere.  i wish that i could have a group of friends that i hang out with or that i could call and talk with when things go all haywire but it seems like that is never going to be the case.

We moved to a different state, so I had to leave my friends, which I was really sad to do, but some of us do keep in contact with a phone call, or letters, but it is not like being with them.
