No - I think it happens to us all, life takes you in different directions sometimes. It would be nice to catch up with some old friends but there are many others I am glad to leave behind.

It happens. As we get older our lives go in various directions. It's only natural that someone you were close to at 15 may not be in the same place you are at 30.
I just had to cut ties with a friend of 10 years (I'm 32). I kept growing and moving forward, she stayed put and wants to always be 24 (she's 38). We're just on different pages now and there isn't anything wrong with that.
Perhaps it's a bit sad, but I also see it as a reflection on all the life I've been fortunate enough to experience.
And please, never say that you're sorry to be 30!! Our 30's are a brilliant time. All the lessons learned in your 20's and the peace that comes with knowing yourself.

No, you are not the only one. I'm not even 30 yet and I've lost so many so-called friends. My problem was that we just weren't doing the same things in life, so as a result we grew apart. Things like that happen, so you should concentrate on meeting new people instead of focusing the ones you have lost.

I just turned 30 also (in January). I've lost contact with quite a few friends, but I've also made new friends. People head in different directions as they get older. I'm happy with where I'm at friend-wise.

At thirty five I have only three friends that knew me when I was 20.
As we grow older our lives change and our friends lives move in different directions. We also get more commintments (partners, kids etc) so its harder to stay in touch and we all move to different towns etc.
Hopefully though its like 'ten in a bed' a friend falls out one side and another gets in the other. If your bed startsto feel too empty then join a club or take up a new hobby to fill it up again!

No, I am almost 30 yrs old and I do not hang out with people I knew in high school or in my early twenties. People have different lifestyles and fall out of touch (families, jobs etc.) I think it's normal. But if you are missing someone in particular try looking them up via the internet and see if you can re-establish friendship.

no everyone does this, in fact the best relationships you have with friends in life are after high school. AND you will be able to count your best friends, the ones you can really count on, on one hand. Sad, but true. It doesn't have to be sad though, you can and should look at it the way I do, the friends I had when I was younger or in my 20's is not where I am at now. The friends I have now, and I am 33, are great, and loyal. I again can count them on one hand, but they are always there for me in everyway when I need them. Don't look at the negative, look at the good.

Nope! As you grow up you grow out of some friends and grow into new ones, its just the way it is. the ones you really value are the ones that don't change with age. I'm 33 and have had my best friends for 17 and 10 years now, but have had other friends who have come and gone. Just enjoy your time with them whatever you do!
