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.

When it happens too often you start learning how to live with it . I’ve lost so many friends throughout my life, mainly because of moving places , people finding other friends and social circle, getting into relationships etc. , so we simply have distanced ourselves. It’s part of life , people come and go.
