People say that our friends circle is getting shorter with our age

How much this is true because I felt that most of my old friends are getting detached with time and I am also involved to do that as I felt that I should remained detached from some of them as they didn't change their attitude from childhood. They became friends as my popularity in school and college were increasing, but as my time changed they came back to their true colours.
I felt sad as one of my nicest friend got detached from me. In fact she was the only girl I loved. But she wasn't interested so we kept that upto friendship. She is in touch for almost 16+ years. But I understood her detachment because time should change. Maybe she decided to remain detached.

As a teen i had many friends probably too many actually, so as an adult i became more of a loner. And this is my own personal experience, but i found out that their problems become your problems. I like a drama free, peace and quiet lifestyle. I dont want you calling me when you get arrested at 3am, or when your boyfriend or girlfriend busted your windows with bricks, and dont ask me if you can hold $50 when all you'll do is hold it and i will never see it again

so for my sanity i chose the loner lifestyle.

@AngelUnforgiven actually! Helping sometimes is ok but when it comes to get involved in their own messups is actually not so good way as our family and our mental peace is affecting too. I saw people making their own lives vulnerable because of friends. I lost my cousin sis 1.5 years ago because she was much more involved in the friends. She gave her life. I saw that only her true friends came to her funeral.

My friends circle is extreme small as per usual. I have more just acquaintances. I'm mostly solo by preference..

some of them as they didn't change their attitude from childhood

Must be talking about SW.

@Magenta privacy is luxury but when we have someone with us its like having a company so we can play something rather than overthinking or watching movies for hours one after another.

My circle of friends is tiny. I don't need to add or accept everyone and have 1000 strangers on my "friend's" list to prove to myself that I still got it. The 4 or 5 who are real ladies suits me just fine.
