Is it normal to hate friends after a while?

I've noticed over the past 2 or 3 years that when i dont see a certain friend for more than 2 weeks, i start to really hate them. i think of all (if any) the bad things they ever did to me or things about them i dont like. so the longer i dont see them, the less i want to see them. but eventually, when i go to hang out with them, i forget all the hate and begin to see them as my friend again. then the whole cycle starts over. does anyone else go through this?

Is It Normal?

  • People start to change and sometimes your morals change etc and friends don't really fit you anymore. It happens to a lot of people, of course there will always be the best friends.

  • OMG sorry for the late comment but I was just about to make a IIN on this because I seriously go through this all the time, it is so strange. Its funny because they are my good friends and I like them but for some reason if we don't hang out which is all the time now because I'm in college and we were a tight group in high school, I start to think bad stuff about them and question our friendship...I think its because I wonder why they haven't made any effort to contact me which must be view from the other perspective as well but still. Sigh I don't know why this happens, I know it just does.

  • Maybe they are less than friends & more like just a gang, crowd, or group that you hang out with. Problem with groups is that in exchange for company and acceptance, one may trade off a lot that is more personal. Thats why gangs will do terrible things that an individual on their own will not.

    Nor do they sound like a particularly nice crowd of people if, after a small break you realize you actually can't stand them.

    • yes, we did hang out as part of a group, but the 2 people that i usually have this problem with are the ones that are closer to me. it seems as if the more i know of someone, the more reasons i have to get angry at them.
      i never said i couldnt stand them after awhile. it's just the numerous little things they do when im around them add up and make me angry. when i've just seen them, im willing to overlook those things because we're friends. but after a while i feel like i cant overlook them which is why i get mad.
