If lately you've been feeling alone in a group of people you've been close with since high school, than maybe it's a sign it's time to part ways. No matter how strong your history with these people is, every person is still an individual and we all mature and grow at a different pace. You owe it to yourself to surround yourself with people who share the same interests and goals as you. No matter how guilty you feel about blowing off the squad, sometimes it's in your best interest to move on and find people who line up with your current self. Below are four signs you've outgrown your day ones.
1. You don't like the same things anymore
You don't even want to respond to the group chat when everyone is hyped about getting drunk at the same old bar on Friday night. For the first time, you'd actually prefer to get some sleep after a stressful work week.
2. They're not supportive of your goals (and don't have any for themselves)
In order to reach the goals you set for yourself, you need to have a strong support system in place. If your friends don't want to hear about your new job offer or think your goals are unrealistic, than they're not worth your friendship. Likewise, friends with no real goals in line will probably only drag you down with their lack of motivation.
3. If you met now you definitely wouldn't be friends - or even like each other at all
If the only thing keeping you guys close is your history, than it's time to break free. While it's hard not to feel guilty cutting your day one friends out, remember you're not tied down to anyone forever.
4. You have more fun with your new friends
If you get way more excited to meet up with people you've only just met, than theres a strong chance your interests have changed. You've most likely matured and should invest more time in developing these new friendships further.
