Is it normal to lose touch with childhood friends?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s normal to lose touch with childhood friends as your lives change. It doesn’t mean the friendship was fake or that either of you did anything wrong.
Childhood friendships often grow out of seeing each other every day. Later, people move, change schools or jobs, and find themselves with different schedules and interests. Without regular contact, even a close friendship can quietly drift.
Some people stay close to childhood friends for life, while others only catch up now and then—or not at all. Neither is a measure of how much the friendship mattered at the time. If you miss someone, it’s perfectly okay to send a low-pressure message and see where things go.
