Are you in contact with all your friends or do you even remember their names?

In life we all make lots of friends. As life keep changing with time numbers of friends come and go. We break one friendship and make another. Friend in primary classes be no longer friend in High School. In college we get lot of other mates. Then in office we get different friend. Most of the friends don't go with us for lifelong.Isn't it? Are you in contact with all your friends or do you even remember their names?

Hi JackRoy, I too agree this, my school friends all are not my college friends but i will be in contact with them now and then. Many have got marriages and settled down in various places and few are yet to marry. Who are yet to marry they will in contact with me still. But still who are in other states or in abroad we are in contact through phone or chatting online. Have a wonderful day.

I can pretty well remember all my close friends name from elementary until law school. I have very few close c0-workers so I remember their names too. But people who are not important to me, I can hardly remember them anymore.

I would like to think that I remember everyone who has touched my life in some way over the years; I may not be as good with surnames though because I struggle remembering those which makes going to Facebook and trying to locate some of these old friends near impossible especially the ladies who have changed to a married name! I do remember them all though, I may not talk to them but I have good memories…

I do remember the names of my "so-called" friends. I just know who are still closed and who are not. I know who are just there for fun and who are there when I am down. I just don't contact them the same thing because even if I do, I don't get response from them, and they don't even bother to say hi and hello to me. I just accepted the fact that some friends change in attitude as they change their status in life. There are those who's skin are so obvious and they don't want to mingle around with simple people. I really don'y know what happened to them despite the messages and contacts I do on my part to reach them. But what else can I do, as I have said, people do change.

I have a few that I keep in contact with but you're right, when we make friends at a job and then leave it, or they leave, its hard to stay in touch if you don't see them everyday. But, if you make great friends where you work or got to school then you are more likely to keep in touch with them after the semester has ended or you've gone to another workplace.

Well, I was a little closed in my own world, wondering if I had any real friends. Until I've gotten really sick and everybody came to me. Of course I did remember all their names, but I thought they were just too busy living their own lives and that I did not fit in. Seems I was wrong...and now I do the best I can to show them, with simple things, how important they are.

luckily i am still in contact with some old friends, i do remember the majority of peoples names also. looking back i wish that i would have stayed more in touch with my old friends, i do miss them, a couple inparticular, but time moves on and people change and go in different directions. i just hope that i do get to see some more of my old friends, would be great to catch up.

I do have a lot of friends especially that I travel a lot and my type of work gives me the opportunity to meet different kinds of people. I get close to some of them and stay in touch (mostly through email and Facebook). Most of them I no longer speak to, but I do remember them and their names since I write them down in my organizer. I do keep an intimate set of long-time friends that I regularly see or speak with.

I am not in touch with all my friends from primary, high school or collage but I have at least one from each level. I have 2-3 primary school friends whom I meet whenever I visit my native place. one school friend who met just before my marriage and now we in contact and talk very often. Most of the collage friends are in touch either on phone or chat, mail etc. It is not easy to meet all of them but I try to be in touch but whenever I talk about my school/collage, remember all the names, names are there in my memory.

i don't think it's possible to keep in contact with all the friends that u've met so far. same is the case with me. i've even forgotten many of their names. but there are certain types of friends that i keep in touch regularly even though we are far from each other and will continue to be for..say lifetime. there are many more with whom i keep in touch from time to time. there are many more whom i've totally forgotten also. life's like this!

Well, I am in touch with my real friends a lot, but not with everyone. If they are not as close, I am not in touch with them as often, I think that is natural. But I do remember the names of everyone I consider to be a friend! I have lost touch with some friends who I used to have years ago though. Sad, but true, and I think that happens to a lot of people.

Just some friends.Since not all still wants to keep in touch or in their so much busy schedule they wont just give give time to send an sms. So, why bother? I am in contact to those who still wish to be in touch.

All my closest friends I remember by name and face, even if I haven't seen them for a long time... but I'm still young! So not seeing someone for a long time means maybe a year or two only!! I'm definitely not in contact with many of my past friends who aren't surrounding me now... I barely keep in contact with my family if they're not around in my immediate environment. Is that strange..?
