When friends change with age.

[Janus]

I have know one of my friends for over 30 years. We’ve worked together, played together, laughed together and cried in the presence of each other on the odd occasion over the years.

 

Maybe we all change with age. This person has become really serious over the last 2 or 3 years and is no longer fun to be around. I don’t know how common it is for people to change so drastically. It would be a shame to `walk away`. There seems to be so many restrictions now. So many things seem `fixed`.

 

I’m trying to work out why some people suddenly change and become so serious. Is it a common occurrence in your experience of friendship.

[Strix]

life throws many things at us, which can burden us down and make laughter more difficult. It's at these times we need our friends the most

 

Are you a good friend?

Can't you just see each other less regulary, I still have most ofmy mates who I grew up with, some have changed but most are still the same as they always were at heart. The ones that have changed, I still like to keep in touch with, the only way we could still be friends though is from a distance, so to speak.

I`m very sensitive, and go the `extra mile` to help (even with strangers) so i guess i see myself as a good friend to have. I do feel that the sensitivity gets in the way a bit as I tend to expect as much as I give-you know, the two way street thing. I think my internal `rule book` as a barometer does not always help .

Unfortunately, that may be the only way.

In my experience Its called growing older and can't be bothered,its the same with the telephone if you phone them they will talk forever but in turn never phone you so I stopped doing it.

Theres plenty of people out there to make new friends with and some friendships get tired no matter how much effort you put in.

I agree with this friendships end up broken because of lack of effort .

I experienced this and it drove me mad, a friendship with someone that's selfish is more like hell.

 

 

Some people just take Diffrent paths in life sometimes them paths cros and sometimes they part.

There are loads of reason I wouldn't say it was so much age.

But hey Diffrent strokes 4 Diffrent folks
