Until Next Time
 
Do you miss any of your friends?

天 (Caine) February 6th, 2016 3:59 PM

Yes, very much so. My best friend for a very long time moved away for college and we just kind of grew apart, even though I did my best to stay in touch. I still worry about him, he's a good guy and I hope he's doing well.

I always miss my friends because it seems like the older we get the less time we get to spend together.

That's some major truth.

My friends and I transferred to different colleges and then we got suuuuper busy, graduated, and now we're suuuuuper busy again with work.

My best friend, she's working at a hospital, studying to take the MCAT, and doing research, so even though it seems like I hardly ever see her, once she's in med school it'll be in even less. I'm so proud of her though & while I miss her, I'm just extremely happy she's doing what she wants to do <3

I also saw some long time PC friends not too long ago and the trips (people here, me there) felt too short. I want to spend more time with them :'( and sit and watch Harry Potter movies with Sorano :'''(

Yeah, that's one of the hardships of being ambitious.

Not really no. I never really had any friends to miss, and the ones I did have are all on facebook where I can talk to them :>

Bay February 6th, 2016 6:11 PM

With my irl friends, I still sometimes communicate with them in Facebook and such, but it's not the same as hanging out with them when we were in college. After we graduated, we all moved to different places.

There are a lot of internet friends I missed talking to. Whenever there was someone I haven't heard from in a long while, I wonder how they're doing.

Like a lot of the people who've already posted above, many of my friends grew apart post high school/college. Several have moved to different locations and those who are still nearby are always busy with school and/or work, myself included. I should really try to reach out to them more again through social media/skype, at least. These days I feel more connected to the friends I've made here on PC. I do miss one user who is no longer here. I couldn't reach her through other means of contact as well. I'll still remember all the fun times.

Mostly, there's people on the Internet that I miss. A few have just dropped off the face of the planet, and I often wonder how they're doing. There's no easy way to find them. Other friends are still around, but we drifted apart for one reason or another. At least I know they're still alive, but it's been months since I exchanged words with them.

I have most of my real life friends on Facebook, so I can just check in periodically and see how they're doing. We all live in the same area, but our interests are so different that there's not a lot to say to each other. Besides, most of them now have children and I don't, so it's difficult to hang around with them.

Of course I miss my homies, but as we grow up we venture to different things. Some got married, some are focused on the career (that involves traveling the globe) and here I am like a potato.

As for my PC friends, hopefully I'm gonna stay friends with them as long as they are part of the site.

I miss a tight-knit group of online friends I met like eight years ago on an MMO. We eventually drifted from that game to private fan servers of the game to just skype chatting, but we just kinda grew apart. (or at least I did.) We've known each other for years but haven't spoken in at least 2 years (for no good reason, I just have crazy anxiety and let us drift apart). They got me through the toughest parts of my life and were there for me when it felt like nobody IRL was. Even in my early teenage years when I didn't have many friends (literally like 4) IRL, they made things pretty enjoyable and happy for me. I guess we just kinda stopped talking as much because we weren't all playing a common game that involved interacting with each other every day.

Also, I miss my best friend from back home every day. We're starting to drift a bit too, which sucks. I just suck at keeping in contact with people, which is why I seem to feel this way a lot.

Honestly, pretty much all of my friends are like this though, so this can apply to anyone in my life.

Aww man you can't stand for that. Tell 'em they can crash at your place for a couple years to make up for the lost time and throw them a daily pizza party! (Hehe... if only. Sorry again m8.)

There's a lot of online friends both on PC and other forums (most which have closed or changed so much that it's not the same forum anymore) which have left the forums and internet in general. Kinda gutting because I either can't talk to them anymore because I have no way to contact them and it's just the memory of them that last.

irl I have only a few people who I miss I guess. I became awesome friends with people when I was over in film camp in America in 2012 and friendship isn't the same online as it was over there.
School friends I don't really miss much - the people I would miss I still see them often.

NinjaRaichu February 7th, 2016 12:33 AM

a couple but pretty sure they dont miss me so I should just get over it

Kikaito plush February 7th, 2016 2:45 AM

Not really since I have all of them on Facebook.

pkmin3033 February 7th, 2016 4:09 AM

Yes...there are a couple of people I miss terribly sometimes. I don't let people in easily, but I get very attached to them when I do. I can comfortably go for years without speaking to people I'd classify as friends just as long as I have a link to them, but when that link vanishes...well, it's one of the many reasons I keep everyone at arm's length these days.

I get that people often drift apart as time goes on, I just don't see the point in forming any sort of bond if that is going to be the ultimate outcome. I only miss one person in real life; we lost contact after we finished secondary school and she's literally the only person who doesn't have bloody Facebook. Everyone else...eh. We were never that close.
