Is it normal that i was more social when i was younger

Yeah I agree - it is not that you are less social - it is that your social world has changed and is more complicated, and, you have grown up so it takes longer to develop adult relationships.

yup

I'm 36, so I have seen my social circle shrink and shrink over the years. I like to think that as you get older, you have less tolerance for peoples bullshit, ie: not showing up for a night out, not being ther for you when something serious happens like say, an operation or a death in your family, etc... I call them fairweather friends because they were only around when things were going well. As you get older, you realize the true meaning of friends so naturally your circle will become less. Better to have 1 good, solid friend than 20 flakey friends.

I used to have lots of friends growing up. My dad always said that my friends were not gonna be there for me when the shit hit the fan later on in life and he was right. I'm glad I was social in before but now all I care about is career. But I will admit, it sucks that I have practically no one at all that I can just call up to kick it like I use to.

That's what happened to me. I think it's just that when we're younger we tend to really don't realize or "care" about our surroundings or what other people are thinking about so you just move on with your day. But when you get older, you are more aware of what's happening around yourself, and you tend to feel as if you want to do everything individually. So it's normal.

Im 25 too, and i would say that its what you make it, i personaly find it awsome to have alot of friends, it just makes living in a community much stronger, when i was 20 i moved to FL and lived there for 2 years. I remember feeling really alone beacause anywhere i went like a store i knew that i would never bump into anyone i know. And i charish my friends, I knew so many of them for such a long time that its an awsome history some people never get to experice that. I think you might be put off by ur surroundings, if the quality of people is crappy then why even have crappy people around you? I think its heard not to make friends people are always calling me to hang out and i love it it makes me feel like someone cares u know. It fills the void that once prozac did.

I think its normal. You have different priorities now. Also it was so much easier to make friends when we were little. You could just say "Want to play?" or "Want to hang out?" Now you're dealing with grown-ups and everyone is busy or you have to get to know each other better before you can be real friends.
