Anyone else notice friends dwindle the older you get?

[LastEmperor2k2]

I`m 29 and I been noticing this for a while. When you're younger, it seems like you always kicking it with friends, 2-3 days out of the week. Whether it be sports, drinking or just hitting a movie or chilling out.

But now I noticed the friends have dwindled down a lot, I still got a few very good friends, but some moved away, some settled down in relationships and others you just noticed weren't that good of friends to begin with (drinking partners).

Also, there is a certain "Dont-give-a-fukk" that comes with age, whereas before you might listen to someones nonsense or put up with their bad traits, the older you get the more you don't overlook that shyt and just steer clear of them people.

I guess i`m just getting old, anyone feel the same?

Yeah i'm 28 I have a group of 10 friends that are like family to me we would even spend holidays together once we got done doing the family thing. Now I only see 2 of them on a consistent basis the others it's like a once a month or less everytime I see them and when I do it's usually 1 on 1 never really the whole group that only happens for big events like 4 or 5 times a year.

I actually hangout with my friend from work and his people or with people from my softball team more then my actual group of friends.

As you get older you (usually) get more into your career and have more responsibilities and normally get deeper into a relationship with a woman (or man, if that's your thing ) so you just have less time to spend on friendships.

marriage and kids are the reason. sometimes career.

I noticed it at 25 breh....we keep in contact email/phone/fantasy league, but as far as kickin it it's not really happening unless the stars align and we're all at home around the same time

Yeah, it's crazy because you see it happening, and it sucks at times.

I think it also comes with being smart with money, when you're younger you`d blow money on whatever to do some dumb shyt with your friends (Casino, Strip club, drinking) and when you get older you notice those a pretty poor ways to spend your money.

I also think you just weed out your bad friends, like you know there's some friends that bring zero positives to your life. Then you notice they really weren't friends just people who ya didn't mind being around.

Yep. First noticed this with friends who got married in their early 20's. Suddenly those friends weren't around and available to hang out as much as they had been. I really didn't think I was heading down that road anytime soon until this year when I got into a serious relationship and slowly but surely enough your old buddies get replaced by "couple friends." Not a bad thing really as I probably need to grow up and mature before I become the "old guy" in the bar/club and some of my friends were kind of a drain in their own ways, but couple friends are way more boring than your single and unattached friends. It's weird too because couple friends have way more money to do fun things than your borderline-broke single friends so you would think they'd be more fun but I guess getting older and having bigger responsibilities has a sobering effect on most people.

actually, my friends or group of friends have expanded as i've gotten older. i think it's because eventually i move to different places. like, i've never been in one spot for more than 10 years, so i always have the opportunity to make new friends. now, close friends, that's a different story. i haven't really ever had many close friends...

Man once I started havin kids, wife, career, all that extra time to kick it with the fellas really began to dwindle.

 

[Born2BKing]

I don't have many friends anymore because too many nikkaz always want some shyt. Money, a ride, a place to stay, etc. It gets tiring bearing other nikkaz problems when you going through your own. These days I just cut nikkaz off who get on my nerves.

I don't have any friends. I've grown miles apart from the one female I considered my best friend at one point in time and its too late to make new friends.
