Another best friend spinoff

Do you ever get tired of your friends?

Do you 'outgrow' them? Or hope to keep them forver?

I was just wondering what people's general expecations are of their friends.

Re: Another best friend spinoff

I get tired of those who say they are my friends and are so not. I have my family and most of frineds are married too so we're not always in each others faces.

Re: Another best friend spinoff

I have outgrown almost all of my friends. It's sad on a lot of levels, but I am happy that I am able to recognize that I need to move on. None of them are close to getting married and they don't have careers, which is fine, but we just have very little in common anymore.
I have ONE friend who I feel I am still close with after years, but he's been my best friend since we were little kids, so we've grown together.

i get tired of some things that they do that annoy me over and over and over...but it isn't often

Re: Another best friend spinoff

I get tired of people who say they are my friends, but make no effort to live up to that.

Re: Another best friend spinoff

I noticed a big change in my life from my 20s into my 30s.. our lifestyles were totally going in diff directions and save for a few emails here of there, I dont keep in contact with the majority of them - some not at all. So yes, I did grow" tired" of them I guess you could say.

Now iN my 30s, partly in part because I met DH and partly due to moving and starting a new job (and even this very website!) I made an entirely new set of friends

-I think we all have our moments with our friends but overall my current set of friends are wonderful and I adore them.

as I always say I'm lovin' my 30s (except for actually BEING 30something)

Re: Another best friend spinoff

I have some friends that I was very close with but have dropped them.

I was close friends with this one girl and she was in my bridal party but ever since she got married herself and had a baby, i've really lost contact and the last time I saw and spoke to her was at her son's christening party.

But I still have my 3 girly best friends...and the most import best friend of all...My DH...

Re: Another best friend spinoff

Since i had my kids things changed mostly. The people I thought were my friends didnt seem to be once i had my kids. I have made a slew of new friends, from being active with little league and karate even other activities we do. we all have a common bond whihc is nice

Re: Another best friend spinoff

I have totally outgrown all of my past friends... Keep making/trying to meet new ones

Re: Another best friend spinoff

Yes I def outgrew some of my best friends. As we got older our views changed. But my true friends who are my best friends who was also my BM we will be friends till death, you know when you have a true friend!

Re: Another best friend spinoff

I've definitely outgrown some of my friends. Not all, but some.
I'm always looking for new friendships as well!

Re: Another best friend spinoff

I have gone through periods in my life where I have outgrown or grown apart from my friends. However, I feel really secure with my current friendships. I think that over time, and with marriage, my number of close friends has shrunk, but those who I remain close to are the ones I expect to have throughout my life.

Re: Another best friend spinoff

I get tired of acquaintances. My close friends, I have known for years. We could not talk for a month but when we do it's like we just talked to each other yesterday.
