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.

Depends what the friendship is based on, for instance, if the friendahip is based on circumstance or just context, then when the context changes so does the friendship.

All my frienships were based on circumstance so i dont have any friends left because we grew up and our contexts became outdated and i went out of style.
