Do We Outgrow People or Do Paths Just Change?

As time goes by, some people slowly disappear from our everyday lives. Not because something went wrong, not because of arguments, but simply because life takes everyone in different directions. Work, family, responsibilities, and time quietly change our routines.
There are people we once talked to every day. Now we only think of them once in a while, usually when a memory suddenly comes back. It makes me wonder if we really outgrow people or if our paths just stop meeting.
What do you feel about this?
Do relationships change because people change, or because life demands it?

That's right. Few real frriends are far better than crowd of so called friends.

@barood4money Exactly! At this point of my life, I don’t need any downers or false friends taking up my time. I prefer my own company instead of theirs

I think yeah some people slowly disappear from our lives. It's just sad but we have to be mature in these scenarios.
