Is it normal that i lose interest in people soon?

Is it normal that i lose interest in people soon? For example, if I am friends with someone, I spend quite a few weeks keeping a good level of friendship. But after that, I suddenly lose interest in that person or even to talk to that person and I slowly drift away to a point that I no longer talk with them. (However I always help out if they come to me for help) This is not the case with just friends, I had the same kind of relationship with my best friends too. It would be an on and off friendship, sometimes showing great interest and at other times behaving like a complete stranger.

    These are the symptoms of assholism.

    • Yes. Most of my life I had to deal with people who were assholes.

    i am much the same .. thought i was the only one lol .. guess it is a bit mean at times but sometimes i deliberately cut myself off from friendships after a few months but it's more or less as i have alot to deal with in my life & feel that i can't pay the attention to the friendship that i'd like

    I have been struggling with the same problem but I got to be the one who comes up with some awesome activity or prank or whatevs so these moments brought us closer

    • Yes. I agree. That is the reason why my gang of friends still survives. That is the only connection I still have with my school friends. But we are equally bad at keeping in touch with each other but we sure have a great time when we are together :)

    It sounds like you're a good person and this is just something that you struggle with. This could definitely prove problematic for future relationships, whether they be professional or otherwise. Though it may go against your natural tendencies, I would encourage you to "hang in there" with people. You seem like you would be a good friend though. The fact that you're willing to help those that you care about even though you've lost interest in them means you are loyal, which is a great trait, I believe you have much to offer people.

    • Thank you. :) what you said, that it could prove to be harmful for future relationships, is true because I guess I can sense the effects of it even now.
