Long term friends, OR, friends disunited

no, I am frantically trying to avoid all the spangles who were in my highschool. sometimes they misguidedly try to talk to me but it is only to comment on how odd I am. its been about 4 years and I have trouble remembering people from class, mainly because it was a monumental effort to get on with them in the first place and I cant be bothered at the moment.

I've just about lost touch with everyone I went to school with now, and a lot of the people I went to college with (although a few remain my best friends) I feel bad about this but not particularly sad, if you know what I mean, I've made better friends with people over the last couple of years than I did in my times at school and college anyways.

I have been in touch with most of my friends for about 10 years. I only have 7 people I call friends though. So, I guess that's pretty good going! I intend to keep in touch with all of them.

It depends on the person. And just because a friendship doesn't last doesn't mean it wasn't strong at particular points in time. I only talk to one or two people from school now, despite the fact that I was genuinely good friends with far more than that as recently as last June. Er I don't know if it's the same with you all, but speaking as someone who has left school recently, you just go your separate ways and you have to make new friends.

Who'd want to stay in touch with those twats?

i only stay in touch with two of my high school friends. in the crowd i hang with, length of friendship doesn't appear to be very gender-based.

I had no interest in staying in touch with my school "friends". But I've got a couple of friends I met post-uni which was 7 or 8 years ago now (which isn't bad going).

That said, I do tend to have many rather brief friendships as well. Part of the nature of being a fickle bastard.

I've stayed in touch with 3 people, one of whom I didn't go to school with since the age of 13 anyway, and is indeed a bloke. I think we have a strong friendship because we have the same neuroses, as his mum once pointed out to me. The other two I was at school/college with until last June, and it's girl/boy, and they're both strong friendships (i hope...they seem to be considering the amount of shit I put them all through last year with my general stupidity). I hope university doesn't get in the way. Beyond that, I was never really very friendly with anyone else anyway, apart from a couple of sisters who are art students and hence I am scared of them.
