Friendships growing apart

It’s hard! Sometimes though I think it’s okay to let friendships grow apart. I have a lot of great friendships that have done this since high school and college – and the best part is having minimal expectations. I love catching up with them when I run into them or plan a night out every blue moon – but I don’t expect anything miraculous anymore. Expectations lead to resentments!

It really sucks! But I do understand how people change, I change myself too over time. It’s just life

It hurts a lot seeing friendship torn apart. Because real friends stick together no matter what through thick and thin, in good and in bad. No matter how stormy the relationship is, one must be there to support and to lend a helping hand, to surpass all the challenges together, work and hold on to their friendship hand in hand.

im going through that exact thing right now & dont really know how to deal with. considering its my two best friends and i dont really have any close friends without them.

I think it is a very good thing to realize that your some of your old friends do not fit in with your lifestyle, especially when you are doing better..It really just means you are growing up. It is okay to let some people go, you will make other friends in the long run

Yes. I’ve been best friends with a girl named Emma. Since we were in middle school up until she had to move to a different state. We kept in touch but it wasent the same. We promised to get the same tattoo, never happened. She lived her own life and I did the same. Were still friends, but. Not as close as we used to be. Its very hard to look back .

Yes. I’ve outgrown many people i called friends. It isnt always a negative thing though. Hopefully you learned something from each other but just grew apart. Thats a part of growth. Maybe both of you grew but just grew a part. Maybe you grew and they didnt. I think every relationship is seasonal to some degree. Sometimes you meet people, develop a relationship with them, learn some lessons and when its time to move on, thats just what happens.
