feeling lonely

LegacyUser

So here's my situation:
I'm in my early 20's, and am finished college now and I'm at a situation where a lot my friends that i've met in the last 4 years of college don't live in my county and are moving onto different things in different counties, and my chances of seeing them on a regular basis are getting smaller and smaller. I'm scared that I will lose contact with some of them, as I've grown quite close to the friends i've made in college (obviously i'll do my best to keep in contact).

The funny thing is when i was in college I see my friends every day/most days, and I sometimes got sick of them. I guess I didn't cherish it enough. Yeah, I know every one goes through a phase like this at least once in their life, but this is actually the first time in my life i've felt like this, in secondary school, a lot of them were pr!cks so I didn't care or want to see them again.

Okay, I'm rambling now, I guess what I want to ask the people who've been through this is what can I do to make this transition easier?

you'll be ok, things like this happen when you finish college or move away...some of the friends you've made you'll stay in regular contact with and some you wont, it happens...you'll soon be out working and you'll meet loads more people and make loads of new friends...it can be hard to let go of people that you've been so close to for years but if ye're good friends ye'll still make time for each other...

I finish college this year too. My friends are from all over the country and Im the same as you. Im going to do my best to stay in contact and hope it works out. But twill be completely different from the way it used to be considering I used go to class with them, go out with them and live with some of them. I dont really have too many friends back at home so I am a little frightened as to where my life could go in the next while. I suppose that's all part of leaving college too.

There really isnt a huge point to this post only to say your not the only one. Who know maybe it will work out well!

after college after the summer when everyone decides to get back to normality and find jobs etc that is when everyone starts contacting each other again.well thats what i found. but when you start work or whatever you will realise that you will meet loads more people, and the guys from college who you were close to will stay close.

This is the benefit of modern technology. Many of my friends i still keep in regular contact with even if it's just via text, email or bebo. Moving to new locations makes it hard alright but not impossible to keep contact
