Tbh what is mostly sad is this all happened because I had a disagreement with a friend I was rooming with which was kind of the center of our friend group.

Oh, I thought this thread was about dying.

Ive had several friends and many more acquaintances die at fairly young ages, and of course it sucks. But my Dad said he rarely bumps into his friends and old coworkers in public now, so he thinks a lot of them are either always sick or just flat-out died.

I think my cousin was the only close family member Ive had die in my life.

Consider yourself lucky. That's going to change as you get older though.

This is because most people do not try to stay in contact with their friends or they make excuses for why they no longer talk.

Pick up the phone and call, send a message, or even send an e-mail.

Also having disagreements happens with friends, you dont end a friendship because of it.

I mean it caused her to move out and essentially ghost me entirely. Hilariously she works with my mom and still tries to be friends with her.

You're like 22 right? Stop caring about this nonsense.

Anyone else tired of the obligatory captain obvious that basically just wastes everybody's time? This isn't clever or new... You must be 12

Let me tell you something. When I was about 24 all of my friends stopped talking to me because I told them off for being pieces of crap (they were very petty and I was such a good friend I'd even give them money when they couldn't pay rent and stuff like that, buy all the alcohol all the time, buy everything all the time.)

It hurt me so bad that I even begged a few of them to please talk to me again.

Years later I'm 29 and I don't even care about that stuff anymore. I consider them people that I partied with in my early 20s now.

You're not gonna stop caring overnight but this will be meaningless to you. They're pussies. Forget them.

I'm still human and I still need friends but you know what? There's plenty of people on the planet. Plenty.

Puhhhlentyyyy.

My best friend right now is a lesbian and I'm so glad to have her in my life. Start making new friends man. Forget these idiots.

i had a really nice conversation a couple nights ago with a friend i've had since 1998. the world is a lot smaller these days with this brand new 'instant messaging' thing; you have no excuse for simply 'losing' people you'd rather keep.

but i also agree with what azure says about making new friends.

Im planning on moving next year if things calm down in the world so Im not worried about making new friends. Not having a social life right now feels kinda weird, but at least I know everyone is kinda going through it.

If youre married with kids, you automatically get opened up to a lot of potential friend groups.

Okay so why even make the thread? You'll be alright.
