Losing friends

Haha, you're making me flashback to my elementary school days.

It was really heartbreaking. Every year back then, I had to deal with losing a friend. It was either class separation (and they found someone new to hang out), moving away, or simply being quite irritating to be around and not being cooperative at all. Whenever I lost a friend, I tried to approach someone else so that I won't be lonely. But what does it matter, it's the same cycle all over again. It was a very emotional phase for me, as a kid who just wants to have friends.

I'm the type who moves on pretty quickly, but before doing so there'll be a time when I curl up in my bed and cry about losing a friend so suddenly.

If it's the used-to-be-together-but-now-we-have-to-separate-and-we-can-only-contact-through-text-messages type, then if we drift apart, the reason is obviously because I don't text a lot... haha.
 
It depends on the person I was friends with. Some move away, that's life, some drift away, that's life, but if they stick around long enough for me to get close to them it's eventually going to end one of two ways: 1. I absolutely cut them out of my life, I realize I don't like them anymore and don't want them around, 2. One of us stops talking to each other and just lets the friendship go, it's run it's course. . .
I get over it pretty quickly. Except for like, two people.
 
It does upset me when I lose friends, especially for what seems (to me) a dumb reason. I don't cry over it, but it is a bummer and I do clam up a bit
 
The worst is when you're close with someone, decide to date, eventually break up, and never talk again. :[ Makes me really sad; in fact I usually try and reconcile the friendship as long as the break up wasn't on bad terms. Anyway, I have a hard time letting go of my pals, in fifth grade one of my best friends died of lupus, totally crushed me. Hard times.
 
I'm kind of bad at keeping friends, since I never keep up with communication. I feel bad about it but I just forget after a while.

If it's something like a falling out, it affects me way more, though. It hurts to lose friends that way.
 
I've lost a couple of best friends back in high school. One of which stuck with me through the rough times during elementary school, but then we drifted apart in the 2nd year of high school; parents loved her and would always wonder if I still talked to her.

Friends come and go, I've learned to accept that fact. To be honest, as much as it's nice to have friends to hang out with, being extroverted, I'm grateful for having the select few that I keep close because I simply do not have the time to keep track of everyone else. Nor do I have the energy to.
 
When I was twelve I basically cut contact from everyone who I considered my friend except for one person, who's still with me to this day.

When friends and I grow apart I barely notice it happening, but by that time I end up feeling like it's best to just let things go. There are some people I think it'd be cool to get in touch with, but I don't see it happening.

I have had to break away from some people though. Even if in the back of my mind I knew it was the right thing to do, it always killed me to take action.
 
Eh, I've never lost really good friends, just hang out buddies. Well, no not really. Moved from the states to Europe over a summer, lost my entire social circle. And it wasn't just any social circle, it was basically my childhood. We went from Kindergarden to 7th Grade together, were likely going to go through high-school together, but yeah. ♥♥♥♥ happens.
