I have a few of those we are friends on facebook but do not even talk or text or anything basically and its sad do you ever reach out to them?
-
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?
-
I do Have some that I have grown apart from but during events or holidays we always catch up with each other just for that day. =P
-
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 a lot of my school friends and I have grown apart :peace:
-
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. :(
-
I found that after we all started having kids that we have less tim to try to get together.
-
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.
-
i have grown apart from a few people sometimes life just pulls us in different directions and some bonds aren't as strong as others
-
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.
-
Sadly lots of them since I moved to states and most of them live in another country!!
-
I have a few childhood friends that I have grown apart with over time. But I'm trying to get in touch with some of them just to keep in touch with once again.
-
There are people I've been friends with over the years who have disappeared for a number of reasons. I believe we are meant to meet these people for a reason, but it's a shame we can't be friends longer. :)
-
YESSS! I do and it is sad. I've tried to talk to them before but the contact still fades. :/
-
I don't let myself get sad when I stop talking to my friends. I go in with the expectations that my friendships wont last forever. This has happened several times and I realized that I always reconnect with my "important" friends. it was meant to be i guess.
-
Yes, I had a friend all through high school. We were more than friends, we were like sisters, we were joined at the hip. We graduated and started working (at different places). She moved about 30 minutes away and got married. I was in her wedding and we still were close. Time went by, we kind of saw less and less of each other. I heard she got divorced and I got married. Sadly she didn't come to my wedding, I lost track of her, had no idea where she was (this was before Facebook). I haven't seen or heard from her in years. I tried Facebook, but don't know if she's remarried. It's sad, but I guess that's life.
-
I've tried to stay in contact with friends that have moved away but the friendship slowly faded :(
-
Yes
-
I moved from California to Oklahoma, and unfortunately I feel like I lost all the friends I made in California, so I understand what it feels like to have drifted away from friends.
Now that I'm in Oklahoma, it's been very difficult to make friends because everyone out here already has their cliques and friends that they've grown up with and it's difficult to work my way in to their groups.
-
Unfortunately this just seems to be a part of life and a part of growing older. I have friends I have grown apart from...some I am ok with that and some I desperately wish they were still in my life.
-
I agree I had a best friend for four years and then we never talk anymore and I don't know where she is.
