I have had the same friends since college, although as time has gone on, the daily nature of those relationships has changed, such that it is not daily at all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've had the same friends for ten, fifteen years.
I still have the same friends I've had for the last 15 or 20 years.
Every friendship goes through ups and downs. Dysfunctional patterns set in; external situations cause internal friction; you grow apart and then bounce back together.
Friendships that have stood the test of time and change are surely best.
Friendships are discovered rather than made.
I have the same friends that I've had for 15 years. I think also, just by having each other, as soon as one of us gets a big head, we shoot the other one down.
I've had the same friends since I was in kindergarten.
My parents split up when I was young, and they are still good friends. I think it's often projected that these things have to be so acrimonious. It's so often not the case.
There have been some friendships lost over this. That's the most difficult for me. I find it very uncomfortable to know that I was at one time close friends with someone, and because of jealousies and misunderstandings and so on, these friendships have dissolved.
I just think that sometimes we hang onto people or relationships long after they've ceased to be of any use to either of you. I'm always meeting new people, and my list of friends seems to change quite a bit.
