Do you keep in touch with friends from high school... - Page 7

No, I am sorry to say. I had one who was my very best friend from a very early age and when we got older, she never made herself available and was always busy no matter what and I was always the one who made the attempts. After awhile I got tired of it and told her she could be the one to keep the friendship going if she chose to. Obviously she chose not to, because I stopped hearing from her except for Christmas cards. I had a few other friends that were causal friends but one by one we just lost touch. I think some friendships are strong and last through life. Others are just seemingly transitional.

I also hear some people talking about how many friends they have. Well, there is a difference between friends --- true friends -- and social friends or acquaintances. I think its a good idea to know the difference.

Personally I doi not keep in touch with people who it is an effort to keep in touch with. Those we truely want to be with are not an effort at all.

No. I went to my 20th reunion and that was enough.

I only hear from 1 HS friend at Christmas time. Other than that, I moved out of state right after graduation and my very best friend, or the person I considered my VBF, turned out not to be such a supportive person when I needed her. Our friendship dissolved only a few years after graduating.

No, not on a regular basis. On occasion I see a high school friend in a store, restaurant, etc., and stop to chat about "current events" for a few minutes. That's about it.

Yes! Two of them! One doesn't live far from me, the other one lives about an hour away, and she's coming tomorrow to spend a few days with me. They the other one comes over too. We graduated in 1958, went to our 50th Class Reunion and 55th, it was a good time.

Occasionally I would run into an old HS friend around town. You know the ones who thought sharing friendship back then was special to them because they would wrap you in a big hug. Some friendships however are to be forgotten. None of my closest friends from back then have kept in touch with anyone, we've all went our separate ways and I guess they weren't really friends like my father always said.

I do have one friend from the 5th grade I am still close with. We are best friends forever. She lives in another state, but when we talk or text..it is like we never parted. We just know each other. No explaining our life, we know where each other has been, so we catch up on the new stuff

Other than that no, I do not keep in touch with anyone else from high school. I live about 60 miles from where I went to high school. It was also 50 years ago.

I'm still best friends with someone I met in the nineth grade. We roomed together in college the first year, then she transferred to the other end of the state.

She, myself and one other friend went to our last reunion and had so much fun. Everyone just mixed.

I reconnected with my best friend from elementary school! We hadn't stayed together because I moved across town and she married our class pres! Loved that!
