Are you me, OP?

The kicker for me is that my brother does have a tight group of friends who all met as kids.

[kribban]

My brother has regular get-togethers with his high school buddies. He graduated in 1989.

*sighs* Big mood, OP. I've had a group of friends when I was in high school, but we lost contact and I've failed to make any new substantial friendships since then. And I mean, yeah, this is extremely common, but some people do have these kinds of tight-knit friend groups even as adults and I'm just incredibly jealous.

The solution to this is to make a lot of acquaintances, put effort into the relationships that feel good, and maybe the magic will happen. Which, of course, rarely gets shown in the media. Fair enough; I wouldn't want to watch some poor sod go through the all the awkwardness and discomfort of friendship-building either.

Same here, I had sort of set my hopes on my friends from college sticking together. I think more people lack friends/friend groups than you'd guess, especially close ones. But for most it's because they had kids and didn't have the time. I'm single so don't even really have that excuse.

[(Anonymous)]

I lost touch with my best friend from high school and I still wonder how she's doing from time to time. On the plus side, I reconnected with one of my friends from elementary school and we're super close now.

[(Anonymous)]

I honestly don't remember anyone I was friends with before HS. And those friends in HS were 100% 'hey we share classes together and have some stuff in common enough to hang out outside of school' I have one friend that I've been friends with for 18 years and that's it, I didn't think this was unusual.

[(Anonymous)]

Same here. It's mostly colleagues in my life... but then I guess that makes sense cause I spent most of my day at work.
I do have a few internet friends I talk to daily, but everyone I used to be friends with at school is gone from my life (I do admit that it's very much my fault, too).

[(Anonymous)]

From my perspective, I am thankful for having 2-3 friends of 15-plus years whom I care for dearly and talk to occasionally (since adult life is busy for everyone), everyone else I don't care much for. I am usually the first to sever ties when something goes awry, because I would rather have no friends than bad friends at this point.

[(Anonymous)]

Old childhood and high school friends are the main reasons I'm on Facebook. We moved internationally when I was a child, so having any sort of lasting bonds like that flitted out the window. I can tell you where exactly one of my high school friends is today because she found me on Facebook.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought I had strong bonds with my high school friends, got cancer in my early 20s and got ghosted by every single one of them. So that was fun.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm so sorry, anon. I hope other friends stood by you. And if not - you have us at f!s.

[(Anonymous)]

Totally feel you here! I consider that media gave me very unrealistic expectation of tight knit friendship groups. Then again, I also see people like that, they're just not me. I'm always the forgettable one, so unless I work super hard, most of my friendships drift. Or other times I come off as overkeen trying to maintain them, but I know if I don't they will lapse. I adore my friends dearly, just wish it was easier to make and keep them.

[kallanda_lee]

The good news is you CAN make close friends later. I lost contact with a lot of childood friends, but realized later this is because they wee a bad match, and we were friends mostly through circumstance.

[dantesspirit]

I tried being adult friends with my school friends, especially those I grew up with and went to all my schooling with...

I couldn't do it. We are just way too different. And I think, for me, a lot of it is because I actually *left* our hometown and got to see other places, meet more people and the majority of them, didn't.
