A lot of friendships are subject to circumstances and what you're into at one given point in your life. Go back and think about what you were talking about/doing with certain friends, and often it will be playing sports, going to school, partying, listnig to music, etc...they are/were "activity-based" friends. If those activities change, so do friends. Few friends are really linked with who you are as opposed to with what you do.

We're also living in a time where it's popular and encouraged to cancel and cut off folks with a quickness

This.
But in all reality, if you are friends, not communicating doesnt denote the level of friendship.
Shyt, Ive gotten family I havent talked to in years...does that make us any less family...naw..

I recently had a falling out with a friend I've known since middle school. I was a lil bummed at first, but after some reflection I feel like the friendship came to an end at an appropriate time.
I guess change is good for any of us.

Yea this is basically it when i was young I moved around alot so I was always making friends then like a yr later im.moving to a different side of town so as you get older you kind of get use to ppl being associates I think school sports and living in different environments kind of prepared the avg to the 9-5 adult life. We all have friends for different reasons where u only link up with these ppl for a reason n that's it I think talking to girls early on helped me deal with certain ppl if I ghost somebody or ghost me I understand that we only was suppose to link build n move on with our lives

Me and my best friend could not speak for 10 years, then get on the phone and talk for hours like nothing happened

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
This past year, I've been forced to reflect on a lot of things, including my friendships. There are people I talked to all the time a couple years ago. Press one button, I could get in touch with them like that.
A couple years later, those people aren't around anymore. I couldn't get in touch with them if someone paid me. Then I realized a lot of my friendships were conditional. We went to the same school, ran in the same circles. That was able to get the friendships through college, but at some point, you start seeing that these people don't really care about you like that. They love you, but they don't like you. They're not really interested in your soul, your experiences, your ambitions, none of that. Talking to you is almost like pulling teeth for them.
Add to the fact that people are horrible communicators now. They wear that shyt like a badge of honor. "I don't even read the messages my friends send me. I'll reply a couple weeks later, that's just my thing.
" It makes it almost impossible to maintain a relationship with anyone.As you get older, you realize some of your friendships wouldn't exist if you met these people years later. Timing is everything. Once the clarity kicks in, you either move on and find better friends or those friends you keep clinging onto will scream at you to leave them alone. Not through words, but through their actions.
