by this , i mean , just stop talking to them for no reasons and tbh it makes me absolutely sick , i "lost" friends even if nothing was happened and it's hard for me , it's basically crazy hard for me to move on from nostalgia etc , and with friends it's even worse , iwas with a friend of mine for 4 years , then slow by slow , we stopped talking , we sometimes still talk but that's just not the same ,and here i will not even talk about friends you have in your class during a whole year and then you almost never interact , even if you were laughing all says at all lessons , now you just salute them in the hallway
Nostalgia is and will always kill me , and the fact that I or absolutely no one can act against the time who flies endlessly , i know that im still in my "good old days" , last year , i was already nostalgic of this year even if it was just starting because i knew , i knew what gonna happen even if i don't want to , i sometimes im playing football with my friend and q wave of feelings hit me like "in one year every1 gonna have separate paths here bc of job etc and this football game will just be an old memory , when everyone gonna have his family , maybe we will sometimes think about it and asking ourselves what all the group become now , 20 years after, i must cherish this moment like never"
I can't accept the time who never stop , but I'm afraid that he will never ever stop.

After highschool I was very poor and busy so I fell out of contact with my friends. I still consider them friends despite never communicating to them though.

I tell myself that friends come and go, I'll always get new friends someday. This recently happened to me and my bestfriend, we stopped talking as much and drifted away from each other, but my friends had my back and comforted me through it.

Your problem is more that you're dealing with excessive nostalgia and that you can't easily accept that some aspects of your life belong to the past. Be cautious, some people actually become depressive by dwelling too much on the past. Parting ways with people is only the tip of the iceberg in the perpetual changes you will encounter in life. You need to accept that life is ever-changing and try your best to be happy in the present. People who lives in the past always ends up miserable in the long run.

It's a part of life sadly. A part of growing up so you get used to it. I assume you are younger lol.

There are a few I think of. One friend from here but my existence caused her alot of grief so I chose to slowly stop chatting with her for her sake, felt right and still does.

One guy I knew I sometimes think about though and I really wish I could get in contact with him. He went by Leon and I hope he is okay. He has alot of the same problems and struggles I do but I am a few years older than him. We both grew apart over political differences which is a shame but that's a part of life. I just hope he is doing better because I know what all of that does to your head.

You don't cope, you get used to it. All your childhood friends will slip away and get busy at life. You will get busy at life. It will take a lot more effort to reconnect with anyone as you get older. On the other hand, you will get ample of opportunities to make more new friends with your new environment

it's complicated

for some people, you can meet up with them after a while and it's like nothing has changed between you two

for others, the tides of time have completely washed away all compatibility you've once had

you just learn to take both cases in stride, really. i think at the end of the day, the people you're meant to be friends with will naturally find their way towards you, and will put in the effort to work with you to keep that connection strong. for most others, it's just simply not meant to be, but at least you can come to appreciate the memories they gave you while they were around.

It’s sad to say, but this is a normal part of life.

I’m 30 and my oldest friend I met when I was 16. The secret to our relationship is we don’t text very often and meet up every 2-3 months for a long catch up. We actually don’t have a lot in common but I still care about her.

Other friends I was close to when I was younger just slipped away. It’s not unusual, there’s no bad blood, we just don’t talk anymore.

Just continue to live your life and you will start to make new friends again. It probably won't happen right away so just be patient. It's also a lot easier to make friends when you make yourself approachable and be proactive in talking to other people.

Please type in less broken english next time, it will make your paragraph much easier to understand.

Neither you nor your friends both of you can remain the friendship. Affairs get on the way that each one worries about stabilizing livelihood.

Friendships, unlike family, come and go over time based on proximity, life goals, shared interests, ect. I don't know at what point someone becomes your friend or no longer your friend, but that's just a reality you need to accept and not overthink it. If there are people you really care about, then try to make an effort to stay connected, otherwise, try to look for new people to mingle with.

Find ways to distract yourself...everything comes & goes...
So you need to find different ways to distract yourself like new hobbies & new friends, phone, etc...

The same way on how to counter depression...

@Zakatsuki_ That Mary Jane Watson cover where she's sitting on the couch is also a better banner idea than Magento.

I'm autistic as fuck I don't always have a reason for things. Maybe it's because I've always been more of a Justice League or Avengers guy and never cared much about the X-Men. I do like Wolverine though.
