Being the semi hermit type, I find that maintaining relationships is sometimes difficult. I tend to get wrapped up in my own little world and not spend much time with other people. I've been trying to keep up with a couple of friendships because I find them to be valuable to me to have as a friend. Quite a few people have come and gone in my life, but not that many were really friends so much as acquaintances, and so many of them were friends because of working at the same job. After I quit, or they quit, the friendship just sort of drifted away. I suppose that's not all that unusual.
