What Does This Say About Someone Who Loses Groups of Friends?
Question by Bookworm: What does this say about someone who loses groups of friends?
I had a friend who told me once she always lost her group of friends because “something always happened.” Without specifics I let it be, but I noticed she had a fall out with one group of friends (it was a religious organization and it was entirely female, so I thought there was a “Mean Girls” aspect to it.
Later on, though, this girl and I had a falling out and I watched as eventually the rest of our mutual group of friends tended to end the friendship or drift away from her.
Another friend of mine was relating how a high school classmate of ours did the same thing–had a falling out with her HS group of friends, made friends in college, then fell out with THAT group of friends and came back to some of her high school friends.

just sounds like a anti social person — there are a few scatter among us — most are harmless — they just find it hard to retain friendships!!!!

Reminds me a bit of a guy I knew – he actually was seeking treatment for “Love Addiction”. He really enjoyed having relationships – but he was only into the first part, where you get to know the other person and everything is so perfect/romantic/passionate. Once he started to see that the other person was a real person, not some ideal he thought they were – he’d leave. He just couldn’t stand trying to make it work – he just like the whole falling in love part.
It sounds sort of like (but different) than this friend of yours. She gets into some group – hangs around, the first time things aren’t quite what she thinks, she moves on.
