As you grow, relationships will fall away as they no longer fit anymore. Some might stay, but they would probably also need to be evolving to be a fit. I think the main reason marriages break up is because one partner decides to consciously grow, while the other wants it to stay the same. Nobody is wrong, just very different.
Now when I'm looking for friends or a partner, I tend to seek out others who also value growth. They seem to be few in my opinion, but I'm probably not trying that hard to seek them out right now.
If I was serious about making new acquaintances who were a better fit, I would go to those places where they might be found. Yoga classes, Spiritual communities etc.
You may be surprised over the years as some people decide to grow and come back into your life at times. An ebb and flow, sort of.
The old you might even pop up down the road and look them up for a visit at times...
it's all good, I think.
