Old Friends Don't' Call Anymore! (So Glad I found this forum)

[AnotherMe]

Hello, This is my first post. I am so glad I found this forum. How could you go wrong with a website that's dedicated to "Personal Development for Smart PeopleTM Forums!" I consider myself a smart person. Although, most of my life growing up I have been called "dumb" or "stupid." Oh well.

This is bothering me. Many of my closest old friends no longer call me anymore. One friend has said he would call me time and time again but never does. He lives in another state. I wonder why he does that. When he goes through hard times he usually keeps to himself. Another old friend doesn't keep in contact either but that's to be expected from him. I wonder if I am a downer or something. Maybe they are jealous? I have a wife and kid and they are both divorced. They also have drinking problems. Why do all my closest friends have drinking problems?! I don't even like to drink.

I ran into an "old friend" last night. He's crazy! Yet the whole time he's harping on me on how crazy I was. I don't get people.

Anyway, I'm rambling on. Nice to meet you all.
