Without a doubt

Well, they're not really friends are they.

Pretty much. People go different ways.

Yes, but the people who are worth it stick around. I have less time and patience for people who drain my energy.

We grow, we change, as does our priorities and tolerances.
I see it as similar to each time you move, you fine tune your bellongings, and rid yourself of those no longer used , needed, or appreciated .
So as time goes, in each abode, the things you've kept all that time are the best for you - the ones you really have grown to love !

People leave me, I leave some people. Those that are left are the ones that were meant to be my true people, for who I am now !

Not gettin'this,comments disappear.

Yes,but I think part of that might be me.I seldom feel energetic.

Each individual priority changes over time and if there is no need they move on

Wow! By that measure, I'm a Hercules.

Definitely. I have defriended piles of white evangelicals on Facebook who wouldn't stop posting hate memes, and blocked dozens of people on this site who mocked and trolled others..mostly males. I no longer feel like putting up with endless hassles from rude people.

I keep few friends, they are aware of my 'ways' and my search for higher consciousness...so I'd have to say, I get rid of them, not the other way around.

If they leave, they weren't really friends to begin with.
Bye, Felicia.

No real friends should remain friends. I did lose a good friend to her obsession with her Catholic Church though.
