You tend to have lots of friends when you are younger. People go their own way as they get older and find a mate to settle down with and or have children. Unless your a rich celebrity, you find it much more interesting just trying to survive and build a future for your children.
I'm 45, and other then my cousin, I only had 2 friends. And I stopped seeing them, after I got sick, (IBS constiaption and skin disease) as I was/am just to depressed to do much of anything. Except post stuff from my computer.
My 2 friends were mostly business related, as was my girlfriend, who immediatly stopped coming over once my business stopped.
I have my another old girlfriend, who liked me for myself calling. She has been in a rehab center for several years. She said her mother was letting her come back to town next month. I'd like to see her, but I don't see much of a future for myself with my medical problems.
