Certainly. We were once clung together through going to school together, we then decided that we might not like being clung together anymore, now that we are leaving. It isn't always a straight choice (but that seems to be how you are feeling,) it is sometimes due to out side influences. This could be the process you are going through, if you are on your way out of school...or atleast school with these chaps. Don't worry, in a few years time you will say: Thank god i'm not still seeing x y and z. I promise.
it's like I want to meet new people now that am 20 I ask myself? why did I ever hang out with these ppl? and If you wondering about my neighbor"hood" friends.......it's nothing but tossers wanting 2 b thugs.
Yeah, I guess it is just another phase we have to go through. It is good you are thinking about exploring other people. I too still wonder why I hung around with those people, but then again, I wonder why I hang around with the people I do now . I don't know where you are going to find new people...but I do hope you do. One thing though, don't give up on your old friends "just because"...I "dumped" some people that turned out to be really nice people, a few years later. I regretted leaving some of them behind.
Try in another 10 /20 years after that. Its truly freaky how different people age, how some change so dramatically compared to others, its only something that hits you with people you grew up with, that were a certain way in high school and are very different even 5 years later let alone 10 or 20. Its a real trip
Of course man. People change and some people stay the same. A lot of school friends want to always stay the same and hang out together. If you grow, mature and change (and they don't) you're going to lose things in common and not want to hang out so much. I wouldn't stress about it.
crazy thing i met an old friend from church last night at the movie!! crazy it was nice talking to him. i also met some cool peeps at the Insane Asylum this sunday where i played paint ball!!
true bro you dnt know but this guy i hung out with for a long time i havent seen him in six months and i realized how much more happier I am being away from that Hypocrite. i remember when i started smoking weed he used to call me a drug addict and it brothered me alot bcuz he was VERY serious about and then a year later when he left to go to trade school he start smoking and acting all cool........... fing douche.......
I've learned to keep the friends who visit for no reason whatsoever...just because they were nearby or bored...those tend to be the best ones in my opinion. I do not socialise with anyone I knew in highschool..most of my friends are from college or just people I met randomly while living.
i went thru that phase. i even stopped talking to a lot of them for a long while. but i learned that i have a really great friendship with a lot of my friends from high school and i wouldnt trade anything to be without them in my life, i know that ill be knowing them until were all old and grey
I definitely went through the same thing. When I started college I kind of built a different picture of my friends. It's been 5 years since I've been out of high school and I'm happy with the decision of not hanging out with certain people as much, a lot of them have been to jail, have been addicted to some hard drugs, have several STD's because of their not so wise choices, etc. I was at a party with some friends I hadn't talked to since high school, and they were both walking in their bras in booty shorts shaking it and grinding it on all the guys with their breasts falling out. One of them got so drunk, that she went was rolling around ready to have sex with her boyfriend in their front yard. I'm way over that stuff.
I have 4 or 5 friends from high school that I still hang with every once and a while, and many that I see around town, and share a drink or a laugh with here and there. I also have found that most of my friends are from collage and my early work years. Part of it is living in a place like Boston, people tend to stay or leave and come back, so you see them around. My non-high school friendships were mostly made in my early to mid 20s so give it time.
I only saw a few of my schoolfriends after I left school, and most of them only as they lived near me, or at least their parents did.
I know exactly what you mean! I feel similar all my girl friends from high school dont seem to be as fun anymore.
It turns out that all the kids deemed popular growing up turned out to be the raging faggots that I strongly dislike. I go out of my way to make them uncomfortable, and I get a good laugh from making fun of them to their face.
I still hang out with alot of friends from highschool despite different paths, but we are an exception really.
