Do friendships stay the same if there is no staying in touch with each other?

Question

Do friendships stay the same if there is no staying in touch with each other?

Answer 1

no, mostly because if you don't stay in touch for a long time, it seems like you're not really close to that person anymore, because your interests could've completely changed, or maybe you don't feel as comfortable telling them everything anymore. so you kind of have to re- get to know the person, but maybe once you do that, it'll all be alright again.

Answer 2

no, never for me, it becomes akward cause you change they change and your not changing together as you were when you were friends in contact

Answer 3

MOST DEFINITLY YES, ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN:

"STAYING IN TOUCH" really means calling or contacting one another to see what's up. Friendships are something that have little to do with staying in touch. A friendship is something developed not from staying in touch, but from something a long time ago, much deeper, so dont worry, your friendship will stay even if you dont stay in touch.

Answer 4

Ive never heard of such thing, and the answer is sadly no.

i know i get paranoid abotu the other person being mad at me or whatever when we dont talk and see eachother for a long time, it sucks, but you just gotta go with it, then next time youll see eachother youll have nmore good times unless theyre b*****s

Answer 5

I moved 30 mins away from my 2 bf's 3 yrs ago and were all still the same, and visit each other every now and then. If you move more than an hour away and you rarely hang out, your friendship will fade.

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

No, not really. It begs the question: why aren't you staying in touch if you are close friends?

Answer 8

it depends on how long it is because people can change and they may not e the same person they used to be so its like you dont know each other.

its best to keep in touch though because you know your on the safe side.x

Answer 9

Sometimes yes. I have many friends who I dont stay in touch with but when we do see eachother that makes it all the more better!

Answer 10

sometimes. most of the time, no

Answer 11

I have had personal experience with this, and sadly, the answer to your question is no.

I had a good friend and I felt as if I was the only one who truly wanted to stay in touch. Turns out, she didn't care about me in the first place and we've only spoken two times since she left. I've written her several times, sent her sweet packages, and she only called me twice.

Anyway, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to stay connected with friendships with no contact involved. It's simple: People change. And, if you're not updated with their changes, the friend you once had is a totally different person.

If you do keep in touch though, you can have a friend for life. It just takes effort from both people. It never works out if only one person does all the effort to communicate.

Answer 12

no. you lose touch and you are out of the loop and eventually out of their life. tough..but someone's gotta keep in touch.

Answer 13

True friendships do, they last a lifetime.
