/adv/ I keep dropping friends out of my life for no apparent reason.
I've done this since I was 11. I make good friends at school/work/unviersity and then i drop them as soon as those things are over.
Whilst I am a loner and I thoroughly enjoy my own company, it's not like i dislike these people's company, it's just a sort of laziness that 'im not compelled to associate with them so I don't bother. I appreciate the value in keeping friends and actually going through life continually letting friendships die, will end me up completely and involuntarily isolated.
It's really bad, I have no friends in life because of this habit. I'm in a whatsapp group of friends from my master's degree who regularly meet-up, i've never gone to meet them up (i live in a different city to them) and someone commented on it.
How do I go about reviving friendships?
There are 2 groups i'm thinking of:
1. friends from uni who meet up regularly about 2 hours away from me - 6 months without contact
2. friends from university who i was keeping in contact with on facebook, but lost contact with because i changed my facebook account. - about a year and a half without contact
how do i explain my absence and how do i reinvigorate these friendships

Honestly, you don't need to explain much about it. I have the same issue and they're usually just happy to hear from me again.
