Is there something about me that makes me a temporary friend? I'm sad about being a revolving door friend. I miss a lot of people from high school and college. This isn't for the obvious person that may be reading this though. People keep telling me that if someone did what he did to me, they wouldn't even want him as a friend. Yet, I don't

It's hard to keep friends. I have a hard time keeping in touch even with people I really care about, even if they live 5 minutes away. Life just kind of takes over and you have to work hard at keeping in touch... so, that being said, I don't think there is anything wrong with you, but I also don't have an answer :(

There is a cigar shop near me and I always think of you when I'm in there. Because there is the most beautiul hooka. It only costs $300.00! I want to buy it and then invite you over to christian it to the most awesome smelling smokes I've ever smelled.

I don't think you're a "temporary friend." People just grow up and move around and change and get busy.

It helps if you live in the same city and talk and get together on a semi-regular basis. I had some great friends in high school and we all tried to keep in touch, and managed to do so through college, but now we're scattered all over the country as far as I can tell. There's only one who I still talk to now. I don't know what the deal is, but when we get together and talk, even if it's only once a year, it's like we were never apart. I don't think it would be that way for the people I haven't seen for a longer time.

I don't think you have to be fake, buy expensive gifts, or know all the latest jokes. I think it takes time and the ability to listen and be there when needed. Much like what it takes to build any other successful relationship, really. And if one person is really not contributing because they can't or don't want to or whatever, then things may fall apart.

Yep I now that feeling too well. I've kind of given up on a lot of people because of that - I don't think it's anything you've done though.
