Is it normal i don't talk to any of my childhood friends anymore?

Almost everyone seems to have someone that they have have friends with their whole life. I've only known my group of friends now for 2 years. I know it's normal to go your separate ways when you get older but I feel weird that I don't talk to anyone that I used to anymore.

    I don't have a single person I've been close friends with for anything like my whole life. The last time I talked to most of my oldest friends was three or four years ago, but some of them was even longer ago than that. I think it's normal, actually. I'm always very surprised when some tells me they've had the same friend for their whole life.

    You couldn't possibly stay in touch with everyone you have ever known really, could you?

    Associations drift for a reason usually. If it bothers you, you could make approaches. They may be delighted to hear back from you. Social media make this very easy nowadays.

    I'm a senior in high school though. I just don't talk to anyone I was friends with freshman year or before.

  • I've been out of school for 27 years. I often reflect on my old high school friendships...and how deep those friendships were, but beyond occasional meetings in grocery stores, etc... I haven't seen any of them in years.

    I've wondered the same thing. It'll be interesting to see the results of this story in a few days.

    Ya I only talk to one friend from school every now and then. One or two more I could tolerate if we ever ran into each other. I couldn't give any fucks about the rest of 'em.

    I don't talk to any childhood friends, it's a shame cause those were the days, but people grow up and change anyway.

    I lost touch with all of them. It's odd how that happens... When I think about it, I lost some pretty damn good people in my life due to my childish bullshit. However, we all make mistakes and from our mistakes we to grow. If you have their contact information, I suggest getting touch with them and trying to patch up things.
