[quote=Anonymous]I’m 45 and am in an ebb with a lot of my old friends, and wondering how much effort to put into gently maintaining these friendships just in case/out of loyalty vs. cultivating new ones. I think this must be normal. What’s fun and appealing at 20 is not what I want in a friendship when I’m 45 and life is more complex. I used to be drawn to really outgoing people because I used to be shy, so it’s left me with people who I wouldn’t necessarily choose as new friends if I met them now. I’m also realizing that there is a wide gap now between my friends who drink once in a while and my friends who only leave the house or have people over for activities that involve alcohol. I can’t drink much anymore because of a health problem. My social life often reminds me of the feeling of walking into a college party 3 hours late and realizing that everyone is too drunk to catch up to and that they’re not as funny/interesting as they think they are.[/quote]
