How easily do you let go?

inspiron · May 23, 2012, 5:26pm

Of friends you make along the way?

e.g. School/College/uni/work.

I keep in touch with very few friends from school - and now that uni is ending there are maybe 2-3 people who I would want to keep in touch with.

But family friends - the ones i grew up in my community for some reason those bonds are extra strong even though we really dont see eachother much anymore!

What about you?

Re: How easily do you let go?

letting go of something depends on ‘forgiveness’…if you do NOT forgive, you can NOT move on!

I think she meant not being in touch with friends.

Re: How easily do you let go?

i usually don't make friends easily so i value my all friends. i am one lucky girl who have very sincere friends and i am still in touch with all of them (thanks to facebook :p)

so letting go of friend will be difficult for me if i ever have to............. i would try my level best to save my friendship........

Re: How easily do you let go?

I am in contact with almost all my friends in primary/secondary school. They do not live in my city but I make sure we meet whenever someone is in town. Also in contact with my close friends from O and A Levels. Same goes for Uni. I am a social person and I would like to regularly meet almost all my class fellows/friends but sadly that isn't possible

Re: How easily do you let go?

Yeah I am. Like I said I have 2-3 friends that I am in touch with after all these years and moving.. so I would like to think that they are my true friends as compared to people I get to know while I am in school/univ/work that I or they have no interest in talking to each other after that phase is over.

Re: How easily do you let go?

My bestest friends are few of the school friends, few of the family friends and one cousin with whom I had grown up with.

College/ uni friends are limited to facebook only.

So I have the strongest bonds with my childhood/ school friends/ one cousin and I can share anything with them. I cannot let go of any of these friends. I cannot imagine my life without any of them. Its hard to have such friends who know everything about you, accept you the way you are and will be there for you whenever you need them. I would rather work hard to keep these fewer friends than make new ones and try them out. I already have my bestest buddies who have been with me through thick and thin and I cannot imagine losing them.

My colleagues are also good friends but they only know about my day to day things. Nothing as deep as my childhood friends know about me.

Re: How easily do you let go?

Don't let go of friendships on purpose, but there are friends who I barely speak to anymore because we just have completely different schedules and took different career paths. The things we had in common once just aren't there anymore. Of course, there are my bffs who even if I don't speak to for weeks doesn't mean we have drifted apart because we can pick up where we left off in an instant!

Re: How easily do you let go?

absolutely ! same case as urs. after A levels, i just have around 5-6 school friends i keep in touch with. that's all from kg-12th grade... however, friends frm the community, we know one another for what seems like eternity... so we are very close knit and theyre my best friends.

rosedreams · May 23, 2012, 7:41pm

Re: How easily do you let go?

it's like... i just like to be in contact with people whom i really care about. that will be 2 girls from primary, 3 girls from secondary and 3 or so from my A levels course. the rest of my close friends are in the pakistani/indian community. we also meet more often so it's easier to keep in touch as compared to school friends.

Re: How easily do you let go?

I changed school in 7th grade and lost contact with most of those friends. I've them on FB though, but not seen in over 10 years.

I've 3 very close friends from college. I see them regularly as in 5-7 times pr. year

I've 3 very close friends from Uni. See them regularly as in 1-2 times a month depending on the busyness. I've some not so close friends and those I only see 1-2 times pr. year.

3 seems to be the magical no. lol
