Why can't I find a friend like this in my 30's? I had a best friend when I was younger, but we grew up and apart. Is this only in movies and TV? Also feels thread.

Yeah, only in tv and movies. But they’re butt buddies too. Topanga was a fag hag,
So lifetime friends is a pipe dream?
Because society has changed. People now don't like anyone they don't know. Everyone is an other. "They can't be trusted. They might think different than me. They might hate me for thinking different than them. Why do they want to be my friend? What's their angle? What are they really trying to do?" We don't trust as a society anymore. We don't trust our neighbors so we aren't going to trust strangers. It sucks. I'm in the same boat.
No. I have 1 friend from my childhood that I still talk to. We don't talk often, but we catch up ever few years. It's not friendship like it used to be, we don't have endless summers anymore. But he's still my boy. I'd still take a bullet for him. And I'm positive he'd do the same for me.
Do you ever find yourself living in the past? I mean so much that it becomes too depressing?
let's start a Yea Forums frat house
I dont talk to any of my old friends anymore, but I made 1 new one at work and we hang out. Not BEST FRIENDS though, like over at each others house every day but I kind of prefer just the once in awhile over seeing him every day
Why don't you talk to your old friends anymore? Is it really just growing up?
This. It's not in the movies OP. After all, fiction is based in reality. My best friend will pop in at just the right time. And I'll do the same for him. We're far apart but we look out for eachother. But as for your question OP, it sounds like you're holding on to the past, unconsciously rejecting "interlopers." Maybe I've read too far into this but it's not a bad idea to get out, reach out, have a few drinks or whatever, and start to build something new. You'd be surprised how many good folk are out there. Sharing your interests even.
