How many people you knew and met and worked with in 2016 are still in your life...?

I can honestly say quite a few . Same husband , still in contact with family ( although 2 have died). Still friendly with same neighbours .
I am retired but still friends with 3 ex colleagues .
And still very close friends with 2 women I have known for almost 40 years.
i don’t think I am unusual .

I note that you cut out friends and family from your question - is that because you couldn’t justify it?

Oh yes thanks for pointing out another layer of human fodder who’s necks she stands on to get ahead and elevate herself without a backward glance.

Her discard even goes as far a whole charities as she has recently ‘transitioned’ ie dumped the Parents Network which was set up to give her personal brand a glowing uplift to launch her UPFs and tat online shop. And they even went out of their way to lie about this process claiming it was Archwells standard process to incubate a charity before setting it off for independence like with the IG and Travelyst - except this is a calculated lie as both of these were set up and in existence before Archewell.

Just saw the image of Doria in the pool with a kid, assumption being it’s Lilibeth, is Doria that short? The kid is almost as tall as her.

What??? 😂

What you have said here doesn't make sense.

Do you mean friends, family and colleagues rather than just random people?

If so - loads! Most people don't fall out with as many as H&M appear to have done in 10 years.

Same! Friends and family still then same and I still meet my 2 colleagues from 2016 regularly.

I wonder how many of Harry’s “ Band of Brothers” he is still in touch with ?

Ditto for me.

I work with 200 other people, at least 50 have left... Stayed in touch with 2...

Are you saying you're in touch with EVERYONE who ever left your work? And you've kept every single acquaintance/friend forever?

But what about the others?

Just left then to it?

I just used the word people to encompass all people.

Nobody is still in touch with everyone they knew in 2016... Like.. I dunno,do you all keep in touch with your dentist, the bus driver, the dozens of colleague who left, the school mums you would chat to if a morning, all your kids childhood friends parents and their kids...... your entire set of previous colleagues etc...

Well, you do to a degree.

What was the name of the last checkout assistant that scanned your weekly shop and what do you know about them?

Probably nothing.

The other what? You really are trying.

All I'm saying is that we are sitting here saying that Meghan uses people, drops them, etc.... when everyone does this.

Literally as soon as someone has stopped serving their purpose to you, you drop them...it might be the bus driver that takes you to the shops last wednesday, or a colleague that you got on really well with,but left and you don't stay in touch, or a friend who you were close pals with during the primary parent year s, but you drift apart...

It's human nature.

.

That's not the family, friends and colleagues the poster mentioned tgough, is it.

No-one would expect H&M to keep in touch with the people they've interacted briefly with occasionally on the periphery of their lives - but family, friends and colleagues? Of course, it's normal to have many of them still in your life after 10 years.

I still go out regularly with the team I worked with over 14 years ago. There's about 20 of us and 3 or 4 times a year as many of us can make it on the chosen date go out for a meal even though some of us have retired or moved to other jobs.
And I realise that being "NC" with most of your family is par for the course on MN but, imo, it's very unusual irl.

Pretzel defence.

It is true that a lot of the relationships we have in life are passing. Perhaps we became really good friends with a colleague or school mum but when we leave the workplace or school, we gradually lose touch because we become busy with other things. I think the thing with MM though is she has apparently ghosted people who are no longer useful to her eg Millie Mackintosh. She doesn’t just lose touch, she completely cuts contact. Ghosting someone is very different to losing touch.
H is different. He had a lot of friends he had known for most of his life. I think the royals tend to value long term friendships as they know those people can be trusted. By as early as the wedding, however, he had created a distance between himself and some friends by not inviting them to the evening reception, including one friend whose wedding had attended only about a year previously. I think we all know people who have dropped friends when a partner comes along who doesn’t approve of them. Sometimes they live happily ever after, sometimes they don’t. H will also have the problem, I would imagine, that some people would want to stay in W’s good books and some people would have been shocked at what he wrote in Spare.

I have absolutely no idea who from their pasts the Sussexes are still friendly with. I do know, however, that many people I like very much and am in touch with a lot never appear on my social media. Aren’t most people like that? In particular, aren’t most famous/notorious people like that?

I’ve never quite understood what Jessica Mulroney did that warranted her being cut out of MM’s life. It goes to show you can never really know what’s going on in a relationship, any relationship, from outward appearances.

@Ohpleeeease JM was caught blatantly trying her white privilege to make a black business owner do something for her right at the height of the BLM movement.
