There are countless reasons why people lose touch with their friends over the years. It's quite the common occurrence and it doesn't necessarily mean that you're the problem; rather you're not the ONLY problem.

Sometimes you lose touch because you evolve and change over time. Idiosyncrasies evolve too. Opinions and outlooks in life, life goals change and sometimes you realise that it no longer matches with those of your friend (s) and vice versa.

Then there's also the fact that you might not have the time to see them regularly if at all. Then you might be too far (geographically speaking)...So don't feel too bad.

Coming to terms with friendships ending can be painful but it isn't the end. As you've gained friends while you were younger, you'll make new ones now that you're older. At least now, now that you're more matured, you'd know better in what you look for in a friend. Stay positive; positivity attracts positive occurrences in life!

I've seen a documentary on this kind of circumstance a while ago.

I believe they call it genetic sexual attraction....I must say that this situation is...sad and tragic in a way.

EDIT: I don't think they deserve to be in prison...but I do think they need therapy and counseling. They need to express that attraction or love in another way other than sexual/romantic.

I think there are sacrifices everyone is willing to make. Some people will get rid of their car and/or phone, others will take on a roommate, some relocate entirely. It's all about priorities and what specifically bothers that person more. There can be multiple pragmatic choices to a common problem.

In the country I live in, it is all but common to have housemates and roommates. The primary reason is that rent here is just too expensive. To live here on your own flat or villa will cost about 1.3k USD monthly (for an average 1 bedroom hall flat)! So people tend to have more than 2-3 roommates and still have housemates.

Also, in this country, the expatriates account to about 80% of the population; their main goal is to save up their salaries and send funds back home to support families or to purchase property.

So, yes, I do understand that it IS weird to have roommates after reaching adulthood. However, what shapes this situation is usually the unavoidable financial struggle that everyone here is going through.

Definitely a 4. Loved heroes growing up. I enjoy watching movies, reading my old comic books about them.

It's a good distraction from a busy life; a bit nostalgic too. And great for imagination. If I wanted real life, I'd just go outside or watch the news.

Everyone can use an escape sometimes. And Super heroes aren't a bad choice.

You're among the most privileged people in the world. We don't live in an ideal world, but you happened to be born into an ideal lot. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. It just means a lot of other people in the world don't live life with the advantages you have, and that's something you should always be aware of. Hey, the fact that you took the time and effort to check your privilege means that you're already trying.

Human nature is like that. Sometimes there's no "why". They just do it.

Life is about compromises as we can't get what we all want. I do think that a good precentage of people who smoke are quite aware of its repurcussions and yet still choose to smoke. I think it's because they're aware of what they're potentially giving up (promise of good health and longer life) and the potential benefit (smokers say that it's a great stress reliever and it just makes them feel a lot better). So they weigh both options and make that choice.

In a way, we all deal with this kind of conundrum everyday. Staying up late, partying and drinking etc etc; too much of this is potentially harmful but people choose to do them.

Some smokers say they aren't chain smokers and its done in moderation. Same with drinkers and partygoers. But no one can really be sure on how much they consume, how much they party and how their health is faring. It's all an individual choice; regardless of the consequences.

Basically, many say: "I know it's harmful......but meh."

I don't think it's wrong per se for parents to have feelings of regret of having children. Raising children isn't just providing for them physically. They require care and guidance emotionally and spiritually.

To be a good parent usually means you need to lead by example. That means being the best version of yourself; striving everyday to be that person your children would look up to and aspire to be. And that's easier said that done.

To be a good parent means never giving up on your child despite his/her faults and misdeeds.

That requires constant vigilance, determination and never-ending sacrifice.

And people are just people. We all make mistakes and have doubts. And it's all okay. It's okay to feel scared of have feelings of regret or inadequacy. But what is not ok IMHO is actually giving up the child because the parents just can't cope. We need to be accountable for our choices in life; no matter how hard it is. After all, the children didn't ask to be born. No one can choose their family.
As the parent of a 13 and 10 year old boy, this post is really spot on. The only thing I can add on a personal level is, I don't ever regret having my boys; I regret being an inadequate parent is some ways. After all, as a human, your own faults don't disappear because you have children.


Yes. Absolutely. I know of this because my parents and I are quite close as we are only 20 yrs apart. I do know how insecure and scared young parents can be. They get scared and feel self doubt at times of trouble.....but because they loved us, they press on. Like you, I'm living proof of parents being just human but at the same time, seeing that their love is endless.

Not giving up on them doesn't always mean supporting whatever they do. Sometimes it might me letting the consequences of their decisions play out. Letting them run the path they choose (obviously outside of something that might bring immediate harm to them) and letting them deal with where it takes them. Not giving up on your children, is not the equivalent to coddling or sheltering. Which is not a good thing either. I'm living proof of that.


look if i have a kid and he turns out to be a murderer or someone who bombs the boston marathon i'm washing my hands of that kid and moving on with my life


When I say, not giving up on them, that means you keep trying to steer them towards the right path; no matter your parental feelings of pain and disappointment. You keep trying.

When your child becomes a murderer, you don't coddle them. You urge them to do the right thing and redeem themselves the rest of their lives. Everything, every action has consequences. Having misdeeds doesn't mean parents should stop loving their children.

Perhaps. But it's really a matter of perception. Almost everything we do in life revolves around meeting our own needs and wants....And there's nothing wrong with that. In the end, it is what it is. If we were micro analyse the motive for each and every thing single thought or action, then nothing would really matter. No one would matter.

It really isn't, it's a matter of morals, and you want to bring people in to the world to shoulder a burden, treating them as a tool rather than human.


Morals are a state of mind and people have different opinions on that. Laws just enforce them (mostly).

Personally speaking, I agree with you. I think children are a joy to have but a huge responsibility. If I were to be a parent, I'd love my children wholeheartedly but I would also like it if they'd remember me in my old age and care for me too. I don't think it's a negative point to WANT my kids to care for me in my old age. In my household we view this as reciprocity and our responsibility.

My parents loved me and sacrificed for me. I'd do the same for them. Regardless of their personal motivations, I'm ok with it. My mum tells me this all the time; that one day she'd grow old and weak and asks whether I'd "adopt" her and dad. I wholeheartedly said YES. I want to. I love them and it's my duty to protect them when they'd need it.

The moment I enter my vehicle, I ensure my purse is sitting at the front passenger seat with the seatbelt in place, my phone should be placed in the holder by the dashboard and connected via Bluetooth and put my seatbelt on securely.
