I used to go to parties with them sometimes and I used to know a lot of em pretty well and now I only hang out with my close friends and never ever see that whole big group of people. I dont miss them really but idk I guess I'm worried that I might've cut out too many people from my life
They were a bunch of people you ended up socialising with due to the chance of you being born within a few months of each other and living in the same relatively small geographical area. There's no reason you should have liked any of them.
There's also no reason why you and the people you socialised with back then should all grow up to be adults with similar interests, outlooks and neatly meshing personalities.
I've gotta wonder if you believe there's some quota of friends you need to have in order to be 'normal'. There isn't. Some people have a desperate need to have a huge list of people they call friends, but all those relationships are fundamentally superficial. Some people have only a couple of true friends, and they don't feel the need for more.
Anyone who's still hanging out with a load of their High School classmates once they hit their mid-twenties either lives in the sort of place where there's literally nobody else they can be friends with, or they're suffering from a case of arrested development.
Totally normal. People grow up and go in completely different directions in their life. It would be a nice coincidence if you happened to end up going down a similar path to your old high schools friends, but it's fairly unlikely.
Completely normal. I have absolutely no desire to see any of my former schoolmates anyway as we have nothing in common and never did have, apart from the same school.
Very normal, especially if you've been out of high school for awhile or moved away. I am only in contact with maybe 2-3 people out of an enormous school (I don't remember the number, but it was at least a few hundred students), and only in regular contact with one. I am in contact with absolutely no one from college (though albeit, I didn't stay in college long, either).
When one door closes, another one opens. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to meet people in life, and if you ever miss someone from school, you could always try to reconnect, which is easier than ever in the social media age. However, growing apart is completely natural. A lot of change happens in people's lives after high school. I know I'm not even close to the same person I was upon graduating high school, and the fact that so much significant change happened in my life and I started changing as a person caused me to grow apart from a lot of people I was friends with in high school as well.
