Does friendship last forever?

Recently I have been feeling like there might be a stop to a relationship within my group of friends, and is already tearing slowing. Myself I am feeling a little hate toward our friendship, and have never thought it would come to like so. So, does friendship ever last forever?

No... They don't

The power of friendship...it happens naturally. You can't force it. People will drift. You will change, they will change. It's fine. One day you'll be bestfriends with someone, then your opinions will change. When your opinion changes, you'll have someone else to agree with! Don't be too down about it. Lots of fish in the sea.

@vhood:
Have definitely made new friends, but losing old ones is inevitable. My 2 core mates growing up (we used to call ourselves the Tripod, and were inseparable for 5+ years) now live in different cities, one lives two states over (here in Australia), the other now lives in Boston, which is a $1500 plane ride away. I still talk to them online but

Nope. People change. You change. The one
You do meet new friends though, so don't worry.
That's why I always thought it was funny when people would put friends over SO's or vice versa.
As if one of them had actually meant any more to you than the other.

@dimo Have you made new friends ? and completely over the old ones you've had? And im talking like true friends, bff whatever you may call it, "core" friends. etc.

@natalie I mean i do, but little things break us apart and sometimes it can be sensitive considering it's your friends you've grown up with.

@renadreams Yeah.. my old bestfriend and i aren't really friends anymore, but my current i feel as if it's a keeper, like i could be with him forever, fact that we didnt go to mid school together but still kept in good contact. I dont feel as if we'd break but perhaps things aren't always commited? bummer

you can't always expect others to be the ones trying to keep you all held together. at times you have to put in effort too like asking them if they want to hang out and do stuff. they help by reminding you why you're friends when things get dull

Not really, as you grow up, move out and move on your friends will change. You might still keep in contact, but your core group will undoubtedly change. I am in my 30s and my current best mates did not go to highschool with me, nor did I really know them during university.

Not really. If there's one thing you learn about life is you very few close friends.
