I went out with some old school friends at the weekend. We haven’t been able to meet for a few months cos of childcare arrangements.
I went out with them. Anyway, nothing has changed for them from 15 years ago. Still exactly the same people. I just found them dull and really boring with nothing interesting to say. All they are interested in is going out and getting p*ssed up town. They have the same old problems. Before we went out they spent 2 hours moaning about the same problems/exs. Then they dragged me in some awful rough bar we went in years ago which I can’t stand now. I just think we are very different people now. I am trying to progress in my career, like travelling, reading. I booked a holiday and brought it up and they said they couldn’t even think about holidays at the moment as had too many problems to deal with and cut me off.
I have other friends who talk about interesting stuff. I just found myself extremely bored and I am not interested in seeing them again after 20 years of friendship! I couldn’t care less if I see them again. I am shocked I am feeling this way but I just think if we met now I wouldn't be friends with them. I don’t know how to end the friendships.
Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do?
