I do not know, I found that my friends are clasified in two categories: very good friends, which I can not see for few years, and we start the conversation from where we left it, like it was yesterday, and we always exchange ideas and brainstorm all kind of stuff, and some that keep touch on regular base, but we mostly speak nonsense like how are you how is job, everybody we know is alright? kind of stuff.
Yep. I also feel (and stories from friends and colleagues) that over the last few years, there has been a narrowing of both groups, with some "good friends" fading away. I don't have many nonsenses friends, never really have - there are plenty of acquaintances over the years though.
it feels like this, but nobody says that we cannot meet some new friends if needed. i was intentionally trying to keep in contact and see more some members of my family that I like, for example. but yeah, i can count my best friends on one of my hand fingers.
