[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there might be more without an ongoing clique of college friends than with. [/quote]

What do you mean by this?[/quote]

I think that poster means there are more PEOPLE without ongoing groups than with them. [/quote]

+1 and I think they are right. I think people just don't realize how common this is because most people don't talk about the absence of a college friend group. Like someone with close friends from college is going to mention them, or they'll be around. My DH is like this. Still socializes with a number of friends from college, we went to all their weddings, see them regularly.

But I don't have a group like this and I don't think anyone notices because I don't walk around talking about it. If someone asked me directly "are you still in touch with friends from college" I'd answer "not really, one friend who lives somewhat nearby is an Instagram friend, but otherwise no." But I'm not going to bring it up otherwise. I have other friends, and like others, I am still in contact with a number of HS friends. I think my situation is common.[/quote]
