I think this thread has expanded to the issue of keeping friends, so I'll answer to that, even if it's a little off-topic to the original post ...
Unfortunately in this day and age it's very difficult to maintain friendships. We always seem to have better things to do other than spend out with friends.
I think a first step to keeping friendships is to recognize the importance of it, and consciously decide that you need to spend time on it. Once you do that, it'll be easier to find time to dedicate to renewing friendships. |
