Have you ever lost interest in a close friend?

yeah...just recently, heheh...i never thought that two close friends who grew up together can part ways after investing in a long happy friendship.this friend, who happened to be my bestfriend has changed a lot now that she is married. i don't know how she turned from someone who was down-to-earth to someone who is ambitious and irrational. i noticed that whenever we had conversation, she always kept on asking about my financial status, including the cost of my acquired real properties, and even pity things like if my house is built with airconditioner, etc...i found it kinda irritating.it came to a point when i didn't want to have any conversation with her anymore, until i decided to end the friendship that i once had with her.So sad...

Yes, at times I was bored with some close friends that's when I would go n myself and made another friends. But I never really left them, I only need sometimes for myself that I can go back to them fresh and enjoy their long friendships.

I have moved away from people in my life. Sometimes it has been purpsely and then other times it is just because our lives took different roads. I have met people that wanted to bring everyone around them down. So the saying goes that "misery loves company." It is better to move away unhealthy influences.

I was in that kind of situation before, I had a friend who was so close to me and so with her.But suddenly I realized that she was just a friend when were together,finding out that she was taking me for granted when she need me to help and even taking advantage to my weaknesses. I can't stand seeing a friend whose shed a tear its the most unbearable situation for me, but all those tears was unreal, its kinda her way to take my sympathy and so from that time I make my way out from her. I don't speak to her and put a barricade with me and her. Its hard to move then but I've tried and so now I loss contact with her anymore. Its sad though but sometimes we need to do it for our own sake and others too. Happy myLotting!

Nice post I agree with you 100% because close friends beings to become too close, and when something becomes too close problems starts to accumulate.

Even though i don't want to admit it but yes. I have a friend and i trusted him so much but then he used me, there were instances that i make his term papers, lend him money (which he didn't return) and just use my name to get favors from other people. That was the time that i walked away and its been 5 years since then. He still makes an effort to ask for an apology. Its not that i didn't forgive him, i just don't want to be friends with him anymore. Why waste my time to people who are not worthy of your company.

I have lost interest in a few of my older friends over the last decade or so as I feel that I have grown up or moved on and some of them have not and are still partying like they were in their early twenties. Also one close friend really hurt my feelings about 7 years ago after coming all the way to visit the city that I live in without stopping by to see me. He was supposed to turn up for dinner at our place, we had the meal all cooked and were ready waiting and he never showed. He just kept saying that he was running late, but had not made any effort to even try getting ready to come. He was too hungover from his big night the night before. We found that out from his girlfriend days later after she rang to apologise. That incident made realise all the other things that he had done over the years which I had just brushed aside. Another thing was that he never contacted me after that until he wanted something which was about a year later! One other friend I decided to stop being friends with after I worked for him in his business. That was mostly fine until I wanted him to do some work for me and he charged me like a normal customer. I expected some sort of special treatment seeing as I had helped him out many times, but no!

I have and do have one that most people thought we were born attached to the hips. No matter where I or she was we were always known to be together everywhere. It has come to a point that I realize that we have grown apart. Meaning that she and I both have ventured off into different areas and have no longer been considered friends. I suppose it has to do with our interests in anything growing apart. So I have my friend walked away. I can always call if I wanted to, but find there really is nothing I want to discuss with the said person.

Well i feel really sorry for you! I had a best friend once and we used to share everything and we trusted each other a lot. Now there's this girl which he likes and he loves her and they both are now boyfriend and girlfriend. Since then he has been spending less time with me and more time with her. He even gave me her number so that we could socialize and i would get to know her more. But as time went on he thought i was hitting on her and he stopped responding to my messages and calls. I learned this from his girlfriend that he's not talking to me because he thinks i am hitting on her. How weird is that! I felt betrayed and really sad by my friend's actions. I tried to explain to him but he wouldn't even listen. I don't care about him now because i have tried to contact him for the last one year but he doesn't respond to me at all. So i have decided to let go and move on now. Though at times i still feel sad a lot! Cheers!

I sometimes feel that way too but friends are friends. Although i really dont "walk away" from them considering the fact that we were once close and good together, i try to distant my self though. You would always have that guilt feeling and it's inevitable.
