I've failed

Post Reply New Topic

This is it... the last of my true friends, the people I would trust with my very soul, have moved on to college. Sure, I can still contact all my friends online, but it's not the same. I call the phenomenon "college drift", in that the people you were close friends with in high school tend to drift away after they graduate. There's no falling out, just a gradual cessation of meaningful communication. I was fortunate in that I went to college locally, so I could still enjoy younger friends until they started graduating as well. I attempted to date one of my female friends in a last ditch effort to maintain a meaningful connection with someone over the years, but that didn't end well at all. But now it's all over. I am now completely alone, with no confidante or support at all. My attempts to find something meaningful in life have failed. Time to kick back and enjoy 60+ years of painful solitude...

I wonder if this is one of the things that hapend
to me when I stopped being a growedup and
started playing with the little kids in the family,
going back to my old toys.

college was not for me, this "career" and "start a famlyu"
and "get married" was just a big toilet bowl full of bullstool
to me.

I still keep in touch with a few people whom I deeply trust, care about and respect; not to socialize, but to provide assistance whenever they need it.

Messenger services and facebook might help you keep lines of communication open. I also suspect, and will attempt to demonstrate over time, that independent activism towards the same cause on the part of both friends allows them to interact far more easily.

keep trying:)

Never give up.

My friends in high school have done the same exact thing and only one is still in college after a whole year has passed... It is kinda sad, but it's kind of a part of life too. All Friends come and go eventually...

On the bright side, there's always new friends to make out there... I've made at least one in college.
