Just part of changing life priorities good buddy.
Quality over quantity I say.
I think its a thing now to surround yourself with people who makes you feel good. So if those people stopped talking to you, you probably didnt have a very meaningful friendship that felt valuable for both people. Thats ok, and thats how life is.
Actually most people we meet become strangers with time, as we change, they change, and we need different people in our lives at that time. Its very normal.
you're assuming you can find people that make you feel good. a lot of us can't. especially if we live in a place where our values/beliefs don't align with the dominant ones.

Yeah, I moved across the country so kinda my fault. I text with them pretty regularly so we keep up to date. I went on holiday with them recently after not seeing them for a year. We're still really close but we can tell that our lives are diverging and that what we once had no longer exists.
yea because they're married and boring
I haven't spoken to my Best Friend in 10 years, yet I still think of him as my Best Friend.
