meeting childhood friends

Post Reply New Topic

I feel miserable after meeting my childhood friends. It seems that they all move on, but I am still in the same place, and they all change, and it seems to me that I can never understand the dynamic of our now grown up world. I just feel that I have spent my childhood and teen years completely sheltered and away from the real world, and thus bringing with me so many false world views and dillusions. Seeing from now the protection my old friends gave me in our growing up years is really not beneficial. I am just so confused and don't know how I can get along with them now, and feel so stupid because many values that I have held true now seem ridiculous and trivial. And the gossip during our lunch today (all my frds r girls) I don't know how to react to them.
How do you get along with childhood friends?they are the realest friends of mine but somehow I don't know how to renew this friendships when we enter the grown up world....
