Another human study I guess just curious if anyone actually has ever fallen out with literally ANY of their friends etc?

for me its extremly near impossible to argue with anyone I know, I don't ever recall arguing with any of my friends for years and years exept half a year ago it sortof happaned when a friendship deteriorated and I fell out with him and to this day I am very very distant with him. Strange that I used to be very close friends with him aswell. but the "arguement" was via text and it felt very awkward etc. and it wasn't cos of the "arguement" that I wanted to drift from him.

I mostly argue with my mum as we clash (a lot) but that isint friend so that doesn't count

I find it eccentric how people argue and its 99% of the time about odd petty things that are so laughable

not sure if this was an argument but there was a little "clash" of showing other people the differant techniques of loading and cocking my pistol and me and friend were debating whilst playing "tug of war" with my (loaded) pistol wasn't aggressive battle but a mildly tense confrontation, cant explain


Kindof need to ask too if anyone has drifted away from any friends and how normal is this?

When I worked in halfords the only friend I made was a foreign cornish and I used to visit him lots but then something annoyed me so I coudnt visit him in a bad mood and now ive put off seeing him in 2 years Is it appropiate to "surprise" visit him again and catch up?

This thread is sounding like "random dilemmas with the male species??"

another prob is a friend I made through my mum (of all people ) was very awkward with her presence but I visited him on my own and we get on very well. but then my stupid brain decides not to visit anymore what would a normal person do in this situation? really need to go back but is it appropiate if I just suddenly turn up again after nearly a year?

stupid thread this, prob wont make any sense

Friends are people you can argue with till you're blue in the face about the most random crap and then go out for a drink with them and have a good laugh.

This, and that a friend is someone you may not speak to in a long time, but when you do it was as though you last spoke yesterday.

Anyone else is just an acquaintance.

Yup, some of my best friends I may not see for a year or two but it's just like you've come back into the room.

I think the more interesting question would be has anyone "not" done this, really a guy will have around 3 or 4 really close mates in his life time, and then all the others are ones you drift away from or are friends with while in the same temporary situation.

Very true. Most people are tossers but it just takes longer to figure that out with some people.

I'm only recently back in touch with childhood school friends (Thanks, Facebook!) and it's not that we had a big falling out or anything, we just left school and college and went onto to different things. We just grew apart. Now, I wouldn't imagine any of us are about to suggest hanging around each other all the time as we used to - some have families to think about, then there's the geographic factor.

However, there is one old friend who literally nobody has anything to do with any more. He was actually a landlord to at least 4 mates at one time, we all went to school together. Then his rapidly expanding drug habits started getting in the way (although he wasn't alone in having an 'experimental' stage, far from it) and it really [LIFTED] up his relationships with us, his family and his girlfriends. Last I heard, he's doing big things in software.

Anyway, my point is perhaps simply this - as you go from job to job, or town to town, you pick up and leave friends behind. Only a few really stick, and I find then that we won't talk for over a month and then have a big catch up. These are the friends I'll be more than likely to choose for a best man, for instance, or as a guardian for my kids, simply because they know me best, and despite the many [LIFTED] ups I've made in life have stuck by me and forgiven me.

So I'm pretty much echoing what everyone else has said.

hm the responses remind me that I havn't spoken to that girl in weeks feels as though we have drifted away at such an early stage, Ill phone her tonight I think,

Also extremely badly missing a female friend shes one that no matter what we will never ever drift, and as someone said when we do see again its as though it was just yesterday when it was months

booty call?

had to google that and nop nothing like that

You could sleep together and then have a cigarette while discussing her views on masonic conspiracies, it would be good for you :p

Id have to turn down all suggestions

I dont sleep with girls as its "illegal" in my brain, thus turning down the idiotic girls that offer

I dont smoke unless im quite drunk

and I hate masons and talking about them *shudders*

I consider you quite eccentric.
