Is it normal to feel this way about your friends?

I think it's funny how friends just seem to come and go. It's crazy looking back on it all now. How one point in time you think how you're so close to certain people and they are like your brother; how you care about each other like the two of you are your own blood, but another point in life you don't even talk to each other anymore. How at one point there's a girl in you're life who you care about more than anything, and then another point later on in life they don't even acknowledge you exist. And then when you think you suffered enough and are finally ok with what happened, the same thing happens again with someone new. And all you do is fall right back down, with no one there to break your fall, because everyone who was once there just left. It makes me wonder if there are actually people who care. Not just people who think they do, but people who actually do care. If there are, I damn sure hope I find them some day. This truly is the strangest feeling. To one day sit at a bonfire looking up at the stars with a bunch of good friends around you, to the next laying on your bed looking up at the ceiling with no one around, feeling broken and lost with no one to turn to.

    Interesting. I feel the same way and have thought about it a lot. How some people can be so close, and then with a flick of the switch, they just leave. So much for that huh?

    The days of 'true' friends doesn't exist anymore.

    Yeah I been in that situation. It took me about two years to collect myself back together. I really shattered and it hurt so much.. But time heals all wounds and I'm back on my knees trying to conquer this world on my own. Well not all alone anymore ..my new friends helped me..

    Yes, this tends to be the strange nature of humans. If you think about it though, your friends change in your life as your views change and as you mature. It's just one of those things.

    My mum always used to say that people use friends to get through their lives, and that your true friends are your family because they will never leave you and find someone new. You can't choose your family. We will all lose friends and gain friends throughout our lives, it's only natural.

    Yes. We all drift apart at some point.

    I know this feeling well. Sometimes I sit and wonder why it is so easy to be forgotten by someone who was close. Was is real or imagined closeness? But we move on and make new friends. Don't be afraid to reach out to the lost ones. It's funny how you can easily reconnect with some friends you haven't spoken to in years. Sometimes you have to make an effort.

    I never really had any true, close friends. Growing up, I was mostly exluded. It was just me and my brother. Everyone always thought we were weird but we didn't give much of a shit. I'd say most of the "friends" we had are probably on drugs or something now. Other than my brother, I never had a long term friendship. But I never cared for one.

    I understand.

    It's just the way of life I suppose. It sucks sometimes, sure, but it doesn't all suck. You just have to keep moving along and try to make some new friends.
