Do you think you're a good friend? Do you keep in touch with the friends you grew up with?

[LisaVandercunt]

I believe that people come into our lives for a reason a season or a lifetime. I don't really keep in touch with a lot of the people that I grew up with and that I was best friends with. I and my best friends both came to this country at the same time but we had a major major fight and we haven't spoken in 11 years. The awkward thing is that her sister reaches out to me from time to time and wants us to repair our friendship but that's not worth it IMO. 

 

We all are at different points in our lives that it's just hard to get together and discuss things cause really what do we have in common after being away from each other for more than a decade? I do speak and chat with some of my former childhood friends once in a while, but even when I go back to my country from time to time its just different. The connection that we once had is gone now. 

 

I don't even keep in touch with people that I went to high school with and most of us live blocks away from each other and I seem them on daily basis. I just don't like the way they are as people. I'm not too fond of being around junkies and alcoholics which is exactly what a large majority of them are. 

 

I have a lot of acquaintances, but not a lot of true friends. I met some amazing people during my freshman year in college and we still keep in touch even though  everyone of us went our separate ways. I'm the type of a person who will not be the first to reach out to someone because I don't want to feel like I am bothering someone. If you wanna reach out first and kiki then fine we have go out and catch up. Other than that I think I'm a loyal and trustworthy. If someone needs help I'll do whatever I can in order to help that person. I'm very cautious though and I do have my guard up which can be off putting to a lot of people because I do not open up easily and if we just met do not expect me to disclose everything about my personal life, which is what happens a lot. People try to fish out information from me and they're not getting anything.

 

Currently I'm not looking for a new best friend right now, I just wanna have surface relationships.

yes

[ETB5]

Not only do I think I'm a good friend, but my friends have told me I'm a great friend. 

I keep in close contact (we meet up as often as we can) with my friends. 

[ImInCloud13]

Yes. Two of my best friends I've known her since I was 3 years old. I think I'm a better friend to them than what they are to me.

[---]

i dont even like my friends

[kimbra]

[LisaVandercunt]

 

Yes. Two of my best friends I've known her since I was 3 years old. I think I'm a better friend to them than what they are to me.

 

I had that type of a friendship with one of my neighbors. We grew up across the street from each other. Our mothers were best friends, our fathers were very close friends. Then they moved out and we lost contact. No one knew where they were for a long time, recently they moved back to our town. Supposedly the reason why they moved out so abruptly was because they owed money to some people and were hiding from them or something. 

[Ureshige]

Yes. I really treasure the companionship between my friends and I.

i'm not really a good friend , the thing is i'm not someone who love to hang out and all  , and i'm not someone who reach out for the others , i used to love being with my friends , but since last year i start feeling that most of my friends were taking me for an idiot , so i start taking my distance with them , i ditched both of my bestfriend and the others i  cut all contact with them so now i'm alone but at least i'm happy for now

[SoOnceVelvet]

I keep in touch with some of my elementary friends, we still talk, like we acknowledge each other's presence but we're not as close cause we've kinda drifted apart in high school. But if we have classes together, we talk.

[MelanatedBeauty]

Im a good friend to those I trust..if I don't trust you ill cut you off quicker than a 2 minute man cums

[Lolly21]

I'm not friends with anybody anymore. At least with the people from school. I mean, I've tried hanging out with them again and stuff, but it doesn't feel right. I always try to reach them, asking them if they want to see a movie or something like that, and there's always a problem: they cannot go, they will let me know, they will invite somewhere else, but it's all BS. I'm in this zombie-state where I just go to college, speak a little with my classmates, ad that's all. I've never had a bestfriend, cause nobody appreciates me enough or I'm always being left out. I'm in this stage when I'm just so tired of pursuing people, trying to be their friend, but my efforts are useless, so I'm just friendless and forever alone. Better this way than being uncomfortable with fake friends.

[Dew]

I'm a terrible friend.

[sakurahanabira]

I lost contact with my elementary school friends (I grew up in the days of snail mail and landline phones so if someone moved and don't give you their new contact info you're shit out of luck) and I've drifted away from my high school friends/acquaintances. I also lost contact with one of them after she moved to Ohio. 

[A Hamster Named Loneliness]

nope, I moved around a lot as a kid (I went to 4 different elementary schools in different cities), and back then it was hard to keep in contact with anyone after you move. I didn't know any of my friends' phone numbers, so whenever I moved I lost touch with them. I'm no longer friends with the people I was friends with in high school, and I lost my old phone years ago with the contact info for a former friend who had moved to a different state. The only friends I stay in contact with now are the two people who were my dorm suitemates and later housemates from college. 

[Athenaeum]

Not really.

[Aeolian]

Yep

They don't deserve me as a friend tho

[Yukihime]

Nope not at all, I seriously suck at keeping in touch with people.

 

I do make friends and get along with people easily tho. When I'm friends with them they tell me I'm an amazing friend, and I think I'm a fairly good friend but .... I love being alone so I don't keep in touch with them as soon as there is a little distance between us, and then we go our own ways and contact eachother twice a year at best ?? I don't even know if I have one single real friend left

[Monochrome07]

I never consider myself as a good friend, but i try to be one

[haechans]

I'm still in high school, but  I'm still close with my best friend from primary school (almost 9 years). However, I've lost all contact I have with my friends back in the Philippines ever since I moved.

[93_L]

I try to be a good friend to those that deserve it and keep in touch mostly with my friends from my school

[hima__]

I still keep in touch (we have our own group chat) with my friends from 7th grade (we're in our 20's now). Well, I'm currently overseas so I only got to join their hang out days whenever I flew back home. and I also still maintain a good friendship with my friend whom I knew from sunday school. She is a year younger. I was 9 and she was 8

[7up]

im an ok friend to myself, takes time though

[Wonsungideuri]

I think I'm a good friend. I've been friends with my best friend since kindergarten and now I'm 19.

[peppermint]

I don't think i'm good at keeping in touch. I have a bunch of friends and close friends from primary school to secondary school but I only keep in touch regularly with 2-4 of them. I'm not really good at remembering birthdays too.
