I have an issue and I don't rightly know how to handle it with the correct tact. Have you ever found that you have outgrown a friend? I have found that I have outgrown a few of my old friends. There is an old saying that people come into your life for a reason or a season, or something like that. What happens when you have reached that seasoned reason and the other person has not? What happens when you find that spending time with the other people or person feels forced?
It is not that I dislike the other person or individuals, it is just that people grow up and interest change. I have never wanted to be the fake friend, so I am having a hard time. It's like being in a conversation and not knowing what the heck the other people are talking about. I don't want to be the "mean girl" but I can not waste positive energy on something that does not have a positive outcome. I believe I have been that person that was the person that someone else outgrew. I understood, and I found a new circle of friend that I had more in common with.
To be totally truthful, I am flattered that people want to hold on to my acquaintance, but now I have had to resort to hiding out on the FB and Skype so I am not forced into having those "hey, so how are you? how is the family? how is the dog? what you doing? okay!okay!ok!oh yeah !oh yeah! kinda conversations. Truth when you are living totally different lives in totally different places and family ties do not bind you together, unless you are the best of friends you will grown apart from the friends you meet in life. You will also stop caring about what is happening in the old hood with the old crew that are still doing the same old things.
Anyone else other there been in these uncomfortable shoes? How do you say that we have come to the end of the road without starting a fire?
