I have tons of friends. Last month, I found new circle of friends but it seems I don't fit there. They visit each other but it seems they don't like to visit me.. they are younger than me so maybe that's it.! huuhh..just feel bad feeling rejected.! what will you do if you are on my place..? have you experience such things..??

How often do you call, text and or email them. Maybe because they feel you are the new kid and they are too shy to initiate. From your discussions sounds like you value friendships so go on and initiate a bit more interactions, you might find that they are sort of scared. If all else then you will be happy with yourself that other will appreciate and value your true friendship. Good Luck hope all works out.

I have tons of friends too but we don't visit each other as we're busy with our own lives. But we do communicate sometimes. Seeing or hearing less of each other doesn't mean that you're being ignored. I have this rule that I don't force people to like me. I may have tons of friends but I don't expect them to be loyal to our friendship forever. Friends may come and go. Keep those who are loyal to your friendship. Keep just a few. The more meaningful one's friendship will become. Not all these tons of friends you have are your friends of the hearts. Some of them are just friends of the road... you meet them, you mingle with them for a short period then they are gone. But it doesn't mean that one's friendship ends there.

you are right and I do agree with you..friends come and go and we can't force people to like us . maybe it's normal to feel meeting new friends mingle with them for a while and puuuff!! they are gone..

yes, this is normal. and you're right, age doesn't matter in friendship. right now i'm having fun with colleagues at work who are much younger than i am. So go on with your life inday_lorna1970 and have fun with people who care for you. let go those who just puff out of your life. i have met a number of people... some puufff like a bubble and surprisingly some would show up again and reconnect with one's friendship. continue communicating with those who are hanging around... be it verbally or through emails and social networks.

But I think in friendship it doesn't matter how you look like and your age, right? maybe it just that way!
