Friends

[abusedcat]

So, I've had a core group of 6 great friends for around 4 years now. In the past say, 6th months, everyone's been moving in different directions. Some are going off with other kids and into raves and shit, some are into their bands & girlfriends, and i'm stuck here, same old me. This summers been awful, everyone's changing and I'm not. Should I just move on or try to rekindle our once tight knit group?

Move on.
You'll get better friends and you'll feel better all around.

i live like 30 minutes from you.

anyway, to the OP. i experienced the same thing as you. my friends started taking interest in other things. just make new friends who have the same interests as you, and you'll be fine. friends come and go.

This is exactly what I keep trying to tell you guys happens to EVERY group of friends eventually.

The whole OMG TRUE FRIENDS FOREVER thing rarely happens in the real world.

yeah, that's totally common. if it were me i'd probably try to keep up with them still but don't expect it to be the same cause it won't, ever. everyone i started high school being friends with no longer talks to each other and i made new friends and moved on and i'm so much better off for it. high school = lots of new people to meet.

Go to raves. All the cool kids do it.

The whole OMG TRUE FRIENDS FOREVER thing rarely happens in the real world.There's a handful of folks who I would drop everytihng for despite the fact that I hardly see some of them anymore, but folks I went to school with. I never see any of them. All of my closest friends were made when I came to uni and out in the real world. Having moved around and been to a lot of schools can't have helped mind.

that happened to me too this summer , but i made new WAY Better friends.

It's just really hard to let go, you know? I guess I just haven't found new people I really enjoy being around. It's frustrating because we'll all get together, but it won't be the same. It feels like a bunch of old college buddies getting coffee and updating eachother on eachothers lives.

[xvszero]

Well the great thing about the Internet is you can find people who live near by you with the same interests fairly easily.

[White Noise]

It happens to almost everyone.

[myantiyou]

Hopefully you'll find more genuine friends in college.

[Siren Silently]

Move on. I don't have any real friends anyway, I'm happier this way so I can enjoy my time with the people I'm around with now and not be let down by them later on.

[pinkkchocolate]

You don't have to completely let go of them. You can have new friends and keep the old ones, you won't be as close as you used to be but there's always gonna be that bond between you guys...

Move on once you have killed them all.
