Is it normal to not like your high school friends anymore

So, I currently started college. And I love it. I made a new group of friends and hang out with them nearly everyday. I never had so much fun in my life. But, When I came back to my hometown for Christmas break, I hung out with my old friends. I realized... their not really true to me. One only wanted to hang out with me cause she was just too bored, the other only wanted to hang out with me only cause he liked the "bored friend." And the other only enjoys making fun of me. At college, I found what true friendship meant. It means being able to be who you are. I am not the person I am when I am with my high school friends. I saw myself worrying more about myself when I am with them. "Am I acting right? Are they happy with me?" is what I always think with them. Today I just got up and left. Then I thought "Wow.. they've been there for me for so long.. and now I dont even care" Am I being a bitch about it to ignore them.. cause i found new people? Is that "normal"?

    welcome to the first stage of being an adult

    people change as they mature. some friendships last and some just change as you move on

    If they aren't true to you and make no effort to hang out I say they aren't real friends. Real friends are the ones who always want to hang out with you and make memories, not hang out with you because they're bored. I'd say let them be, if they come to you fine, but if not it sounds like you have a new group of college buddies who actually want to be your friend.

    I'm 30. Started rooting around to find out my old friends and hang out with 'em. Realized that they were awesome. Didn't like 'em when I was around 22-25 or something, but most of 'em matured real nice and are as awesome as they were when they were younger

    I'm in the same boat!! I just started college and have met wayyy better friends here. I just felt that I really have nothing to lose in college. A fresh start, in other words!! But I lost my best friend (since we were like, 7) because of college. I would have loved to stay friends...but she ended up just not talking to me anymore to hang out with friends from work(all of them are dead beat drunks, btw). To be honest though...she was NEVER there for me. I was always the one asking to hang out and the one making plans. She wasn't a good friend. But now in college, I feel like I can be myself and find friends to match my true self.
    Definitely Normal!!!

    That just means that you've changed and that you've found some people you really connect with. There's nothing wrong with that.

    Hang out a lot with your new friends and be nice to your old friends, even if you don't want to be. Keep them at a distance, even.

    Shove a thunnel in their mouth and poor in some hydrochlouric acid and watch their reaction it is priceless. This will teach them to be so shallow lol
