[quote=Anonymous]NP - stumbled across this thread. This exact issue was on my mind recently as well and had come across this article in The Atlantic over the holidays: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/10/how-friendships-change-over-time-in-adulthood/411466/ It seems that it's normal to struggle with this and for friendship circles to get smaller as we age. I decided to be more proactive in asking friends to do things than I have been. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily grind. I lost touch with a bunch of friends during most of my career because my job soaked up so much of my time. Unfortunately, I made "friends" with colleagues only to realize that they were situation-dependent. I have also worried about my friendship skills! It would be great to hear from people what they do to maintain friendships. [/quote]
