Well, I can’t speak for everyone, but in my case, I was the one who did the leaving! You see, about 15 years ago, I decided to turn my life upside down, inside out, and give it a complete overhaul. I didn’t just change a few habits; I transformed everything—my personality, character, health, and interests. And guess what? None of my old friends fit the new version of me. The common ground we once shared? It all vanished. Gone with the Wind!
Let’s face it—friendships often thrive on shared interests and compatible lifestyles. If your friends are still stuck in their old ways while you’re busy reinventing yourself, you’re bound to drift apart. I mean, if they’re content being overweight, sluggish, with poor hearing and eyesight, and constantly smelling like the pharmacy aisle at Walmart, then yeah, it’s hard to keep that connection alive. Oh, and if they can’t figure out how Snapchat works, let alone email, well, what are we even talking about?
Here’s the kicker, though: these issues aren’t exclusive to old age. Plenty of younger folks are walking around with the same problems, and it’s just as hard to connect with them. So what’s the solution? Change yourself! Shed that gut, fix your hearing, get some intraocular lenses if you need them, and can afford them - and get back in the game. Start lifting weights regularly—it’s the closest thing to a fountain of youth—and throw in a new skill, like learning some sort of computing or mastering the any skill you are interested. Suddenly, you’re not just an "old person" anymore; you’re someone exciting, relevant, and worth befriending. Yeah, Weight training is like a Magic Wand. I know !
The truth is, maintaining friendships as you age—or building new ones—takes work. It’s not just about asking others to tolerate you as you are; it’s about evolving into someone who attracts great company. That requires planning, effort, and, most importantly, consistency.
And those old friends you’re mourning? Maybe it’s time to let them go if they’re holding you back. Trust me, I’ve done it. It’s not cruel; it’s just the reality of growth. Life’s too short to surround yourself with people who don’t inspire or challenge you. I just ditched my last one!. We are no longer aligned in any way, shape, or form. I have no time for that. Now, I don’t have friends! AND I am happy for now.
So ask yourself: are you ready to make the necessary changes to become someone worth sticking around for? Go get a gym membership, learn to make a massive transformation, and ask me about the details. Ok?
