Friendship question

cantbelievethisishppening · 21/04/2014 16:49

Have been trying to get to the bottom of a friend who has constantly displayed very bizarre behaviour when it comes to friendships. I am at a loss as to why. She cultivates very intense but quite short lived (anything from months to perhaps a year or so) friendships with people she usually works with then effectively moves on to someone new thus dropping the previous person. This has happened with numerous people now. Am wondering if anyone could help me understand or maybe offer some possible reasons.

How long have you been one of her friends? Has she shared any feelings about the dumped friends?

Did she move a lot as a child. I did and I learnt to make friends quickly but they never lasted longer then a few months before we moved house/area and thus, school.

I have no idea how to maintain a friendship beyond a year. I have got friends who I've known now as an adult from between 3-6 years, but I don't especially put effort into them...so you could argue I drop people. Although that's not my intention.
