I don't have that many friends any more myself, but god damn, the ones that are left are undoubtably the good ones. While we live on different sides of the country and do our own things most of the time, when we meet it's like we're reght back where we left of.
I think that part of the 'losing friends' for me is that I just don't care enough to spend time with people that don't give me some energy in return, whereas in the earlier years you're often so caught up with being liked and having quantity friends over quality friends that you end up wasting energy on people who wouldn't really give you a lot in return in many cases.
I consider myself still young, yet I'm already afraid of this. The other day I found that I'd been losing friends faster than forming friendships over the course of life. And at the best of it...
Yet according to Professor Wendy Moyle, a specialist in the study of ageing, no matter when or how we make our friends, the pattern of human behaviour is to lose them over time.

The other day I found that I'd been losing friends faster than forming friendships over the course of life. And at the best of it there were too few.

Consider yourself lucky - an astounding amount of people wind up with precisely 0 friends, and throw themselves into work, depression, or addiction (or, quite often, all of those things) to deal with it. Not saying it's the only reason a person would lose hope, but good friends are, in my experience, more valuable than anything else on the planet.
In my experience, my life and mind have never been the same as when I grew up, I don't expect those feelings will ever return, no matter how good my friends get. Everyone is a blank slate when...

Everyone is a blank slate when they're young, growing up divides us more, I think.

It's the lack of free time or common activities I think. I live so far away from anyone I used to go to school or to the uni with that i would have to spend 4 hours on the road to be able to hang out with someone. And I just don't have that kind of free time anymore. We are living in communities that are well past the dunbars number now. I wonder if there is a solution to that.
Yeah I'm struggling with this myself as I get older. I think I've found some good friend groups but I can see the slow drifting apart which is really hard.

Yes, I do. It always do me good to remember my blessings.

Because most people called friend, aren't. They are associates or acquaintances.
