Why do you have fewer friends as you age: 3 reasons
02.11.2024 17:18
When you were a child, you had a lot of friends, but when you became an adult, all your friends seemed to “disappear”?
Don't be surprised! This is a common occurrence.
Many people complain that they have fewer friends as they get older.
It’s good if by the age of 30-40 a person still has at least one friend.
What is the reason for losing friends? There are several things to consider.
There is nothing "unifying" anymore
A schoolchild and his friends have many things in common: studying in the same class, living in the same area, the same hobbies, etc.
But once you get your certificate and enter a university in another city, friendly relations become less strong.
Of course, many people continue to communicate, even living in different localities. But maintaining friendship in such conditions is very difficult.
Even if friends stay in the same city, they will have fewer points of contact: they get different professions, each of them has their own problems, etc.
Work and family
One of the common reasons for friendships ending in adulthood is being busy.
A person who works 8 hours a day and devotes his free time to his family simply has no time to see friends.
Unfortunately, adult problems do not help maintain friendly relationships that began in childhood.
There is no longer a need for social adaptation
Many schoolchildren and students need to be part of a group.
Communication makes them feel important and needed.
But an adult who has realized himself in his profession and knows his worth no longer needs numerous friends who consider him “one of their own.”
