Are You Good At Keeping In Touch With Old Friends?

Answer 1

I used to be....but when I feel depressed I tend to shut everyone out.....I'm hoping to change that in the near future with some things I'm doing to make myself happier.

Answer 2

Not old friends but current friends. If one of my current friends would, let say, be shipped out to Israel, Japan, or someplace really out there like Oklahoma, I wouldn't stop communicating. I'm not real big on lots-o-friends, but, a few very close ones. Makes it easier to talk to them all! If I had 10-20 friends I don't think I could keep up with them all. However, I do long to speak with some that were "way close" back in my high school days. Just to see what's happened since then. I tried once, but, lo and behold they were abducted by aliens. Really, they dropped off the face of the earth! I can't even locate my rat pack!

Answer 3

Not at all. I have one old friend I keep in touch with on a weekly basis, and that's it. I've even lost track of a friend who was one of my brides maids at our wedding 10 years ago. She moved away and I got a xeroxed letter for Christmas. Those things are so annoying. No effort at all to write one of those generic things at all! I took time once to write a six page letter to my cousin, along with photos, and she did not bother to respond, except to send me those awful things every Christmas.
The only people who I can count on to keep in touch on an infrequent but meaningful basis are two old friends who are Europeans (one from Ireland and the other a German.)

Answer 4

I tend to keep touch with the friends that were "true". It's easy to see those that keep the relationship going, as they call YOU too! Even with the IM, e-mail, TXT, and free night-n-weekends, you'd think we'd find a moment to contact those people we haven't taked to in a while to catch up on things. But priorities sometimes overwhelm our desires to simply "catch up" with those friends that have moved away.

Answer 5

I live in a remote location with my father. I have a cell phone for emergencies and calling my friends. I don't call all of them because over the years some of us have drifted apart. They know I am a good person that tends to be reserved. I don't have a lot of enemies.

Answer 6

at times I be apologetic approximately it, yet on the entire I relatively have continuously tried to maintain in touch with the individuals who advise the main to me. i'm in my mid 50's now, and that i think of it would experience unusual if there have been those that I hadn't stored in touch with until now that I unexpectedly needed to those days. yet you would be shocked. people do advance up, and as we save paying for those years, we study greater approximately what's relatively important. And protecting in touch with previous associates and relatives is an area of that. attempt something like facebook to work out approximately connecting with a number of them. you would be shocked to determine how lots of them have ignored you, too, and are happy to seize you up with their lives. i've got been connecting with relatively some those that way. that's totally useful.

Answer 7

Not at all!
"Out of sight, out of mind".
I tried to keep up with a couple friends when I was a kid, but they never wrote back (Me & Charlie Brown had a LOT in common when it came to pen-pals).

Answer 8

So you are saying all of my friends are old. I don't think they would like that.

I talk to people I have known since elementary school. As long as they don't avoid me I won't forget them.

Answer 9

No, unfortunatly not. I'm not good at keeping friends, period. I'm doing good to make enough time for my immediate family.

Answer 10

Depends if i ever really did like that friend or not.
They might not be keepiing-in-touch-wothy.
It all depends on the person.
