Are losing friends part of growing up?

I used to have such a huge social circle. Now there's just a few people I truly consider friends and even then, we don't hang out much. I've lost so many friends that I thought would have been here for the long haul. And I'm hurt by it. Would love some insight from others on this.

Friendships are transient things in life. Some may last decades others only days. It’s important to always hold back your most inner self keeping it private since todays friend may become tomorrows stranger.
