Say you had a good friend or someone very close to you at certain point of time in your life.That time may had been the golden moments of your life.Suddenly things changes and you feel bad. You lose all your connection with that person. When remembering those days or that person now, do you feel sad? Do those days spent together brings tear into your eyes? Does it so happen that you suddenly forget the bitter things for which you broke up and start to miss that person and those days very much? Share your views please.

yup, i do feel sad..i regret whatever happened between us that screwed up the friendship..i wish things would be different. if it involves someone whom i was very very close to, then i might break down and cry because i miss having that person around and really wish that i could talk or see that person..i hate it when i'm feeling like that .

It is a normal condition. Even when the relation was ended, the feelings dont die. And we keep the memories long time. And we feel nostalgia or even desire to see the person again, to renew the contact and so on.

I have a similar problem although it is my niece I am talking about. She is 16 now this year and she is telling me stuff recently the reason she quit coming around the reason she stopped everything and the reason is becuase my mom adopted a little girl from birth 6 years ago and she thought that we didn't or couldn't love her anymore because she says in her own words that we paid more attention to the new baby then her. and that we loved the new baby more then her we explained this to her all the time the baby wasn't taking her place and we loved her just as much as always she is the one who started pushing away. She was jealous because people now bought the baby stuff even if they bought her stuff too she would just blow up at the littlest things so she pushed us all away. Now she is 16 and has had a baby of her own and now she is wanting to reconnect it is hard after the stuff she said some of it mean like she wished the baby to die she said this last year and also would hurt her on purpose by pitching her hard or hitting her then saying she didn't hit her hard enough for her to cry and stuff she has said that last year even so her and my mom has not gotten along much after that. I want to reconnect with my niece in the hopes that maybe she has changed even just a little bit. I hope she has. My niece is bipolar and has other problems I want to be close to her again because I miss it she used to stay with me a month at a time when school was out and on the weekends and stuff I think she is wanting to do that again but I cannot take the drama if my little sister comes over when she is here. which my little sister comes 2-3 times a week for a few hours a day sometimes maybe occasionally stayng the night. Am I supposed to act different or act like I don't love my little sister just because she here? I can't do that then she is going to flip out maybe and I cannot handle that but all I want is for us all to get along again.. Now we have to maybe deal with problems of jealousy because of her own child.. I don't know I am just confused about the whole thing maybe we all need group family therapy doubt if it would help since hey are alot of stubburn people in my family. Especially my niece. I love her and I miss her and I do cry when I think about the times we spent together and the fun we had and hoping that maybe just maybe we can have those days again...hopefully not all is lost.

I remember about my one of the friends.She was a good friend for.Actually the thing was that i loved her a lot more than everything.She did not understand this.I missed her later.She thought i was a cheat.The actual thing was that the other students who did not like me made her to believe so.Eventhough i still love her.

I have a friend that i fell out with over something petty, we were the best of friends and did everything together and i couldn't bring myself to trust her. I knew how flirty she was and also had experienced my xboyfriend being a little two friendly with her and so when i met my now partner i was weary and let it get so far that i have had no contact with her for years. I do miss her from time to time and definately regret being so insecure that i lost a true friend.

People do come into our lives all of a sudden and many do move out with the same speed. It does feel bad and sad on many occasions, but life does move on. Time does not wait for anyone.

I don't feel bad at all when I loose a friend that I was close with. Maybe it's because my father was in the military and we moved around a lot and never made that sort of connection with others...or maybe it's because I just don't care all that much.

Yes that has happened to me. My best friend and I had been friends from 16 t 25 r so. Our husbands hung out together. We were at each others houses at least twice a week. We went on vacations togethe. then my husband left me and she disappeared. All because she didn't agree with the divorce. We go to the same church yet she doesn'tspeak to me. I hae tried calling her, sent her letters and cards. I have been divorced for 10 years and remarried three years ago. This rift between us has been going on for 11 years!!! I often think of her and our fun shopping trips and watching movies and having them ovr for dinner. I miss her!!

I try not to think about people i have lost, it puts me in a retrospective mood and i keep thinking what I could have NOT DONE to retain that relationship. Over the years I have had some friends who have gone separate ways and we are not even in touch because of the way we parted and I do miss them whenever something reminds me of them or when i think about the times we've shared. Even happy times with them are painful memories now.

Yes, I don't have many friends but the ones I did have were very close. Now that I am married and have my own family, I am not able to meet them even now and then, we are all in different places and even when we meet online, it's just a few minutes and then we part. I know it's frustrating, but everybody has a reason why they come into our life. The best thing will be to thank God that they were there for us atleast for sometime. Check out this link.. I think it's good.. http://members.shaw.ca/anabw/specialpeople.htm

Yes i have had that experience and i got even depressed.(Stupid huh?) I could talk with her and she helped me out a lot.And now i see her once in a big while and will not be able to talk to her face to face so i really felt sad when she moved to an other country. I cherish the beautiful moments but sometimes i still get upset about it.

I meet my life long friend when I was twelve. Through the years we got as close as sisters, and then life happened. after 21 years I still think of her and all the fun and fights. yeah I get sad and I cry. I also feel lucky to have shared that part of my life with her. I don't think I forget the bitter fights, thats part of life and a leason learned.

Well i like to be positive and look at the brighter side of things. As one should cherish the happy memories, the golden moments one has had with friend or relative with whom one may have fallen out or for some reason lost connection with. Rather than crib and feel sad about it as one should be thankful for what one has may be somebody else doesn't even has had that much joy. If one has joyful nature and is witty i doubt if he feels sad as he can see the funny side of things. Though if we come across them in life one should try to patch up so as to enjoy their company.

When I start to think about my Grandmother on my mothers side I start to cry a little. When I was in middle school I used to walk to her house 3 times a week and be a companion to her and help her clean her house. I had gotten to know her in ways no one else knew and I really felt special because of that. When I was about 16 she had a heart attack and passed away the day after mothers day. Every year I have a hard time celebrating mothers day. One thing I do to honor her on mothers day is to take a moment and "talk" to her and tell her that I miss her and that I love her.

Sure, I start remembering and miss "those days." I feel even worse that I feel like that because I have a wonderful life now. I think I miss the thought of what might have been more than anything else.

I have this kabarkada or friend that I use to be soo close with. His always there for me, we were really close. But now, I can really feel the difference with our friendship. I guess its because I have a serious boyfriend now. The difficult part is that, I could really feel the gap between us, cause we still hang out...because we have lots of friends in common. And the change is just so obvious. I tried lotsa times to bring back what we had..but, everytime I succeed...we'd always find somethings to argue about and we'd be back to that strange gap again.
