It's late at night and I always think of stuff like this...
I really hate it when you see someone you used to talk to very frequently and all of a sudden they're like a complete stranger to you. I really enjoy social interactions; someone simply saying hello to me really makes me happy for some reason. Throughout high school I've drifted away from so many people, it's crazy. Some of them were really great friends and even our families knew each other. Now when I walk by someone that drifted away from me, they don't even acknowledge me. No handshake and no utterance of any type of greeting.
I've tried to talk to people in hopes of rekindling, but only once have I rekindled a friendship with someone I knew. I follow people I used to be really close with on social media and don't even receive a follow back or an accepted friend request. Or if they are following me, the interactions just disappear, just like in real life. I'm one of those types of people that really enjoy just hanging out with someone no matter what we're doing; I simply enjoy being around people. I've also noticed that people who party nowadays only do so to get insanely drunk, it's not social anymore. But that's a different story.
Is it meant to happen? Possibly. But it's not hard just to say hi to someone that was so close to you. We're all guilty of this in someway.

It sucks when you drift away from people that you used to talk to. I have drifted away from a lot of people. Just thinking about all the good times that I have used to have. If some people don't want to get in touch again, I at least have those memories with them. I can also go out and make new friends, and make memories with my new friends.

everything happens for a reason I believe
maybe its not the people drifting away from you, maybe its you drifting away from them. I find that in school you have alot of "friends" as in people you talk to daily, but never actually interact with outside of school. Also not having classes with these school friends can cause that
Idk to me its not that serious, I can always find other people. I dont like to linger in the past, rather I like to progress through the present, and continue into the future with open eyes. If people stop talking to you after being "friends" with them for a while, then they obviously were not your friend.

I had a great group of friends through out middle school and high school. We graduated 2 years ago and we do not really talk much at all anymore. We used to hang out at least every weekend as a group and just do things like go on small weekended trips or go fishing or even party together. Now none of us talk or hang out on a daily base. We have have jobs and some of us have college so that interferes with hanging out. I maybe talk or text one of them every so often to see how they are doing but it ends up being small talk.
I miss hanging out and talking to them all the time but i feel like everything happens for a reason. Since we stopped hanging out i have been able to save money since i don't go out to eat with them that much and have also lost some weight.
It sucks and i do miss it but that part of adult hood i believe

You will soon realize that most people you come in contact with are fake. Just a reality of life dude. People will need you most when its most convenient. And they will act like nothing has changed when they come in contact with you once again. You can only rely on yourself and trust no one around you. I guess its just human nature. There are a few acceptions but it's rare to fine genuinely real people.
