I have had this problem for a while. I was always kind of a loner in high school. When one of my best friends was in a car wreck that killed him no one called and told me i had to hear it on the local news.
I have not hear from anyone that i went to high school with in a long time.

This happens to everyone. It's just part of getting older. It honestly only gets worse. When everyone in your social group starts working, dating, getting married etc you'll find that you'll have two or three friends who still find time to hang with one another. Others will drift in different directions. They probably just think you are too busy to bother. I grew apart from a few of my high school/college friends when I started working and even more so when I got married. Mainly because I was so busy and most of the time when they would invite me, I would have to turn them down because I had work or other obligations. It's always a little odd to go from your high school days of seeing those folks every day to once per week. Then when you have a kid, it goes to once every 3 or 4 months. It's just part of life. Sadly this is true. My best friend growing up I rarely see. I don't think I've seen him since June as of now. |

Get used to it.... I'm 35 and I have about one friend who still talks to me regularly.... most of the rest appear to think writing "Merry Christmas" on my Facebook page once a year meets the requirements of being considered my "friend."
Most of my friends have moved to other areas, and I guess I did too..... never made a lot of friends here in Delaware, and the ones I have moved away too.
I look at it two ways - I could start working really hard to try to make new friends, but I'll probably be the one doing all the work to maintain the friendships....
OR.... I can just do whatever I want.... go to wrestling shows & toy conventions, by myself if I need to, and maybe people will begin to follow me..... or maybe they won't, but at least I'll be happy doing what I want to do....
My happiness no longer depends on so-called "friends".... they let me down too much. I have my wife & my son (and a baby on the way) so they can be my focus..... forget those "needy" people who only need a friend when they need something.
To Thy Own Self Be True..... "F" everybody else.

Join a few clubs in the evenings to preoccupy your time. If you stay in thinking about being alone, you will be alone. The gym is probably one of the least social environments in my opinion and you don't need to be going there for two hours a day anyway. Try going to the gym for about 40 mins a day and then doing a martial art or something along those lines which will be a situation which you are forced to speak to people and then you will make more friends.
