Fake Friendship World

Dear ILs,
I come again with another topic that has recently been disturbing me for sometime and now I am just learning to move on though it's been little harder.
There was this friend of mine who was close with me in my college and school days. After college we lost contact and recently a year back I found her in a group of our classmates and she called.
We both called each other and did chat a few times once in a few days and then her calls reduced and she said her daughter is in tenth grade and she is busy with her. I used to call her once or twice a month and she never called back. I don't expect her to call immediately after she sees my missed call. She can call whenever she is free in the next ten or twenty days or so. She used to give reasons for not calling me after seeing my missed call. Initially i beleived her but then later i understood that she was avoiding me but called her once in three months and now she doesn't respond. Recently she never answered or called back since a few months.
Now I am learning to move on.

This is an example of one of my friendships though a few other friends say that they are busy when called. I think everyone is busy with their life. But I also think that none is too busy for a call at least once in three months. Am I right?

Am I expecting too much ? I know everyone's priorities have changed but I find it a little hard when some close friend does this.

Anyway I am learning to grow up.
Does anyone experience such things from friends or relatives ?

 

Thanks for your reply nakshatra. That's absolutely true. I wonder if there is any true friendship in this world nowadays.

 

Dear lavii,
Thanks for your response. I understand that everyone is really occupied including me but these people could have remained out of touch forever in my life.
Fake friendships just drain me emotionally.
I thought and even mentioned her in my conversation that even though there were many friends in my life, those friends of childhood days and in college days are special as they had emotionally blended in my memory forever compared to new friends.
Now I understand many are only fake. Anyway I had to keep distance from such people as you said so that I need not undergo further pain.

 

Dear sandycandy,
That is the right way of thinking and a positive way too. But the mind sometimes dwells on things quite negatively and feels sad about things that had happened.

Am trying to put your positive suggestion inside my mind often so that I don't get affected by circumstances.
Thanks for the suggestion and yours is a valuable input.
