Question:
I only have about 5 close friends... i remember in 9th grade, i entered a new high school where i didnt know ANY ONE at all.. the kids from middle school went to different high schools because i lived in a different area. Anyways, I met alot of new people... and in the halls, i always see people from my class and say hi to them and i used to be friends with them. now, when i see the same people, i honestly dont know what to say. i used to be really close to these two friends of mine in 9th grade, but now in 11th grade.... Its like our friendship never happened. I know people change...... But yeah....
HOw can i keep in touch with people?? what do i say? It seems like they dont care...but i really want to stay friends with people =/
Answer:
always be cheerful and always say hi to them even if you feel they dont remember you.
i saw my bestest best friend over the summer.....
it was so quiet... i felt so dumb!!!
we didnt have anything to talk about... we just literally stared at eachother.
but.... it's good to be the one to remember them and greet them.
i was made a fool once... then my friend became the fool for forgetting.
embarassing!!!
i saw a classmate (i tend to know everyone's name in class)..
i said hi to him. and he was like... i dont know you.
we have class together!! ... we do???
he's a loser. anyways. i got over it.
smile!!
happy thoughts!!
Answer:
awww thanx itrayya (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) you give me positive thoughts! Heheh
Answer:
well then you have to take the initiative to make contact
i know what mean though.. i hate people that doesn't respond back despite you making the first move already
try your hardest if you really want to keep that friendship.. but you have to know when to let go too if they don't respond.. then that just means maybe they don't want to be your friend anymore.. or like you said.. people do change =P and there is nothing you can do about it
but there will always be others.. so don't lose hope
Answer:
I know what you mean, it happens and so I've gotten used to that.
There's quite a few people from my classes that I talk to so much and we're like super close but then when a new semester came, everyone's separated and so then..........we either don't see each other anymore or actually see each other but just walk by like you don't know them...
That's just how life goes....
Answer:
well i think a bunch of us here can tell you that once you leave high school.. you probably wouldn't see any of them anymore -__-'' bummer i know.. but you can try keeping in touch with them.. i guess via internet is the easiest.. and exchange numbers..
i'm very bad with keepin in touch with my friends.. umm i lost pretty much all contact with my friends.. and like a few months ago i stumble upon their myspace (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) yea i know lame! but i just said hi and what's up.. they were like omg where have you been and such. lol.
a simple hi isn't a bad thing from time to time.
Answer:
I think hs is like college, you always come in w/ a set of friends and leave with a set of friends. I have the same problem. I suggest, always say hi, and then say I gotta go if you have nothing to say.
Answer:
I've had some friendships like that. I was really tight with some people freshman year in high school, but now...well, three years have passed and we barely even talk except brief jokes or catch-up in the halls. On the other hand, though, I've made closer friends since then, too. I have a feeling I'll have trouble staying in touch with my current friends through college. I've always been awful at keeping up friendships when I barely see people, like how I haven't talked to a bunch of people I was friends with for years since middle school.
I think it's good to try keeping in touch, but you shouldn't force it. Sometimes, I think, you just have to move on to the next stage of your life and let others do the same thing--not that you shouldn't still be friendly when you do have contact with people from the past.
Answer:
I agree.
You can try using social networkings like facebook or myspace. Maybe call them and hang out?
Answer:
when i left highschool for university, i left my whole bunch of my close friends. when i entered university, i have new set of very close friends, and more best friends in the final years.
People change, i rarely contact my friends in HS, but i texts them once in a while, and whenever i give them a call, i'd say what's going on with you lately? then we to talk about our friends before, and how are they doing, sometimes we talk about who's married to who. It's not the carrying the conversation that matters, it's the intention in calling just to keep in touch, and the fact that you haven't forgotten about them
