Like, you used to be really close with someone. You told them everything about you, things you don't want to get out . Then you got to HS or maybe even college and just completely drift apart. To the point where you both have a completely different group of friends and the most you say to each other is hi/bye .

Oh and you know the T on him too

Don't you hate it?

Hate it.

But then again, nothing feels better reconnecting with someone you drifted away from and realizing that you're both still the same people.

Yeah, it really sucks. It happens if you move but really with technology I don't see how it can be hard to keep in contact with people, like a text once a month or something.

It's worse when the person purposely wanted to drift away from you.

:/

Yes, but it usually happens for a good reason. Literally all three of my besties have recently moved overseas indefinitely and it's just so crazy, god knows how long someone can stay friends if you literally never see them and have no plan to in the near future.

That's just how life works. It sucks sometimes but nothing lasts forever.

Not really. If they were worth it to you, or you were worth it to them, one (or both) of you would work hard to maintain the friendship. Some friends are forever. Others come and go. People change. And when you're in high school, and even college, your world is so small. You're confined to being friends with the people you share a classroom with. People you might not even be that compatible with. When you go out in to the big bad world, you can be anyone you want to be and you can be friends with anyone you want to. I love that tbh.

Don't dwell on the past. Think of the amazing new friends you're going to make in the future instead.

I meet people all the time so they get replaced easily. I used to get so cut up and sad about it because you're limited to only a few people when you're from a small rural town like myself, but ever since I got my license and downloaded dating apps, I've been alright ever since

I have trust issues with people who go from being besties to enemies w/ people like a light switch. It's usually for the pettiest reasons too.

If feel like it was that way for me. There was this guy who he and I were like best friends throughout MS and even up till Freshman year. He basically lived with me. He told me something really private about himself and I did too. We had a couple "wierd" experiences together. He got really big and became an athlete so we really drifted apart. I think he's sometimes afraid because I might tell someone about what I know about him and vice versa. It's so complicated

It's the worst

Friends always become strangers with me

I'm starting to wonder if I ever had friends. I probably didn't

I'm so lonely

Mostly no. They became strangers for a reason

It happens to everyone after high school. It's really sad but it's a part of life

this

a few months ago the person id thought was my best friend ended up basically not caring about me anymore & it was the worst feeling for a long time he was someone i told things that id never told anyone before
but i got over it/him & now im fine without really having him in my life anymore ive moved on like he did
in my experience people never stay so i kind of am just always waiting for my friends to ditch out on me so i always knew eventually he would & i was right

I certainly hate when they don't try to hide that they're not as invested in you any longer as you are in them.

I'm not talking about high school friends, though. I have about one of those left, and that's entirely by choice.

Try having to move every other year your entire life in the school system (Army brat here). You get used to it but its always sad/depressing nonetheless. Life is sad/depressing, but also happy ;;;;;;

This is a part of out-of-control thing in life. I just feel sad for losing friends just because we didnt have periods that we are both free to hangout. But TBH, if they really dun ask about your days and life, that means they dun care about you who is not important in their life. So all I can do is move on. Yeah, its so ****in sad
