Staying in touch

[-:Undertaker:-]

So, I notice a lot of people and it always makes me rather sad, don't stay in touch with people despite knowing them for years. Ever since leaving school you notice on Facebook/hear stories of people who spent so many years together and they no longer keep in touch at all.

What about you? I keep in touch with most people I come across/had close contact with so pretty much all my friends have stayed together and I really make the effort to keep in touch, as well as with teachers who I still talk to/visit to see from school - and I left 3 years ago now. Infact, it was only last night we went the pub with one of my English teachers for a nice catchup which was sweet.

Unfortunately the majority of the people I would consider I was friends with during my school and college years, we hardly speak at all. I have a few of them on facebook but I don't put in any effort asking them how they are or meeting up with them or anything like that. It's been years, we are all living our lives and doing our own things. It's a bit sad really considering how much you used to talk and spend with them during education.

I just stay in touch with the friends I've made from this place really.

I've never been properly close to anyone before so staying in contact would just be awkward. I don't really mind though as I'm not very good at staying in contact anyway

I make no effort to keep in contact.

Same. Too much effort.

I am literally one of the worst people around for keeping in contact with people. There are friends from school I would have considered my best friends and I've barely seen them since I've left! Even people from here, I'm just really bad at going to someone and just starting a random conversation

I'm pretty bad at keeping contact with just about everybody, even the people I consider closest. Rarely speak to any of my home/old school friends when I'm at uni, and only meet up a few times when I'm back.

i think i only stay in contact with those i used to speak to like everyday, other people who i'd have the odd conversation with in school i have on facebook to see what they're up to but i wouldn't bother messaging them or anything like that. i've only stayed in proper contact with 1 of my best mates from primary school (that sounds so bad considering how close people used to be back then ), 1 from high school and 1 from college since moving to uni and i like it like that. quality over quantity!

I'd like to think I'll keep in contact with as many people as I did before but I highly doubt that'll happen just hearing everyone saying they haven't. Teachers, as well, especially in England, can be really picky with if they add students on facebook or something after they've left, probs because of professionalism, although I do now have my old english teacher on FB when he moved to Bahrain to teach English - added our entire class.
