Have you ever lost friends ? Even your best ones ?

[QUOTE="Fightingfan"][QUOTE="Lonelynight"]I don't have anyone to lose.ShadowofTulkas

When I was like 15 I lost my best friend of 12 years. We're trying to be friends again now, but it will never be the same. It was hard losing her, especially because it was over something so petty. I guess stuff like that just kind of happens though.

I also walked away from a whole group of people at the beginning of my senior year of high school. They were really close to me, but they treated me pretty badly, and I finally decided that I'd had enough and that I felt comfortable walking away.

I've lost a few friends to death as well.

Now I've had the same core group of friends for like five years. They're great. We kind of grow apart during the school year because we all go to different colleges, but we still remain good friends. I will hate to completely be out of their lives, but it probably will happen someday.

I hit my friends dog with my car and we're still friends I just can't come over when his walking the dogs.Fightingfan

Yes. Things change all the time.

The only "best friend" I had was in 4th grade, he started treating me like crap and stealing my games and stuff after awhile. I've lost a lot of friends, the one's I have now have mostly been my friends for less than 3 years.

There are no "Friends" in this world. No one sacrifices his/her desires for you. They are good only in talking, nothing more, nothing less.ZEYAAM898

Someone's lonely..

That doesn't apply to everyone, maybe you're just unlucky but my close friends have always helped me and I feel greatful for that. I've known them for 10+years though.

Yeah I've lost tons of close friends over the years, and ever since I graduated last year I barely talk to pretty much any of my friends aside from 3 or 4 people I hung with in high school.

I've fallen out of touch with my best friends.

My fault really. I prefer being alone and generally won't contact someone unless they do so first.

This is exactly me, only, I don't care for my friends anymore. I prefer to be alone. I just don't like people...

I was at lunch one day and my "ex-friend" and I both got salads.I was in front of this friend but friend tried to pass me.(Im so angry my hands are shaking just talking about it).I sat down but friend come and tells me to get up.I say no and tells to sat in the next seat.Friend says no.Teacher comes(likes to stay outside so once had skin cancer)and get me.Another kid(We call him Shaq)trys to tell teacher that I did not do anything but teacher does not listen and tells me to go sat at the end of the table(until I think about acting).When we get back in room teacher tells homeroom teacher what I did.I get on yellow light(I was told get on yellow light again I would get a killing).Thats a whooping.A bad one.When I get home I get whooped.For trying to defend myself!I think I twisted my ankle trying to run from the whooping.

Thats why I dont llike that teacher.Said I should walk and get a spanking when I missed the bus.

I've noticed during my ages from 15 to now (18 ) everything gets very deep in life with the mixes of responsibility and decisions which leads to drama and mixed emotions. . . most likely because this is the part of life. but damn, I noticed that after high school things fall apart (which a lot of people taught me things will) but friends I grew up with and chilled with everysingle day I am so distant from. . It's like when you try to pull the social links of those from your past into the present/future they seem to not budge. . I lost a lot of close friends. Life is crazy when you can't hold onto the people you really care about the most. . Have you ever felt this way ?

it was in second grade

I have a so called friend for 11 eyars (Im 15 now) so you can realize how much you can know a person in that time and all i've known is that here in my current country ppl are Racist, Sexist, Ageist and everything thats bad. So the only friends you have are your family.ZEYAAM898

Well you and your friends are young, when you're all mature you'll realise what's best. I had arguments with close friends all the time when I was young but now we're all close and look after one another.

That's the same with me sometimes. I think it's kind of unfortunate when friends drift apart due to a simple lack of contact. But it does get hard sometimes.....tyring to make time for everyone.

Most of my best friends over the years have either moved away or just stopped talking to me all together.

I'm still on good terms with them, but I guess people change.

We gradually all grew apart. Yes, even the best ones.

I haven't but seeing as I just graduated from high school I probably will soon :(

i lol'd :P

-

best friends stick together, while good friends are there for the moment imo, i have never lost a best friend, just good friends.

when it comes to school; i have always "switched" friends every few years. I dont know why, but it just happens, its not always controllable.

The first good friend i lost was in 3th grade, we simply had a different opinion when it came to pokemon :P he didnt like it as much as he used to. I lost two good friends because they moved away, one in 5th grade and one in 7th. I lost another good friend in 8th grade, because he started hanging out with different people. And i lost all of my school friends as soon as school ended. There has also been some drama when it comes to choosing what people to hang out with. Since i often switched between the popular people and the unpopular ones.

But in the end, i always lose contact with the people i go to school with.

The Best friends of mine i have known since childhood though, and we are like the three musketeers, in a wierd way. :P

Yes, more than once. You'll get over it.

when my best firend stole my girlfriend I should have been like

"youre no good! youre just a little chicken, cheep cheep cheep"

When I went into homeschooling I lost contact with everyone of my friends in elementary.

When I was in school, yes but not anyone that I would consider my "best friend".

I lost all of them.

Granted, I've never really had close friends, but the few that I had all got a jump start on college and their careers when we graduated high school. While they were able to get their lives rolling pretty smoothly, I've spent 3 years mired by regulatory technicalities that prevent me from being well funded into school. By now, they've got other things and people on their minds, and of course, nobody wants to be around some loser stuggling to find work, so I spend the majority of my time alone now.

Outside of my family, I can count the number of people that remember on me on one hand. Not really complaining about the solitude, though- the silence is comfortable a lot of the time.

Shortly after I dropped out of school I lost them, but part of that was my own choosing. We were going in two very different directions in life and I found that I couldn't relate to them as much as I once did. I still have dreams about some of them, but to be honest, I don't miss them that much because I associate them with school, and I hated school.

I've lost friends, but I've kept my best friends.

Been friends with one best friends for around 11 years and friends with the other one for around 5 or 6 years now.

Drifted away yes, nothing dramatic though.

I've lost some friends. One of my best ones, I stupidly asked out. We dated for a few weeks and then came a very bad breakup. Still miss her, it was about a year ago, but I've moved on in life.

I have 2 best friends from preschool, and we still hang out with the remaining one all the time, friends for over 20 years. Well, one of them died about 4 months ago in a car accident with her boyfriend.

I wouldn't say I ever had any "real" friends, sure, I had people I hung out with in school and after. After high school I just stopped being with them, not because I was busy or anything, it just happened. At that time I would rather play video games instead of doing the same thing that we always did. Nothing I regret.

I still talk to some of them now though.

Ultimately, this choice has made me a lot stronger, I feel incredibly independent. Like I can socialize and be with people but if something happens and I don't, I'm able not to lose my mind as so many others would.

growing up my best friend was pretty abusive overall, and it didnt help that his mom had an inferiority complex about her own son and encouraged the bullying. In hindsight it was pretty awful how I put up with it and, due to my quiet nature, I didnt tell my family about it.

But yeah, we pretty much had a falling out after he stole something from me that had great sentimental value. He lied, said he didnt take it, I knew he did, told his mom, she found the item in his room. I think I really lost respect for my friend when, after giving me back the item, he said "tell everyone it accidentally fell into my sleeping bag" (he had slept over at my place the night before).

In elementary school my friends were pretty much the children of my mom's friends, or people I played sports with. Never felt much connection to them.

In middle school those same friends hit puberty or went through whatever changes a little kid into an abusive jerk, so middle school was a pretty lonely time for me. I ate lunch with them, played sports with them, but didnt really hang out.

In high school I made decent friends with people on the football team and I think people started to respect me for who I was at the time, but I was way too shy to take any opportunities to make good friends.

Then I went to college where, for the most part, no one knew many people to begin with and I made a lot of good friends. One of them is my best friend, and asked me to be his best man in his wedding. One of my good friends and roommates in college also passed away, so that caused me to be even more distant when socializing, specifically when making friends.

Basically the whole theme of me and friendship, for the most part, is that I never really had any, and I was always scared to make them because they always seemed to have their own circle of friends and that intimidates me to this day. Jealousy also plays a role, as I often consider myself a secondary friend because person A has know person B longer and are good friends, and Person C (me) doesnt matter in the grand scheme of things.

In short I'd say I have lost friends, but I didn't really have any great friends to begn with.

I don't really talk to any of the people i hung out with while I was in high school. One of my friends passed away from cancer about 2 years ago and the rest i just quit talking too after a while. I got sick of doing the same things every day but I also dislike being around people, I prefer to be left alone.
