How to keep friends

I feel like all my friends are changing, while I'm staying the same. The interests we used to share no longer interest them. They start leaving me for new friends. How can I keep my friends like this

    I'm assuming you are a little younger than me so, your friends will change as you get older. Your tastes in everything will mature, change. As the environment you live/work/study in changes, as will your friends. In essence people grow out of each other, they are friends of circumstance rather than choice.

    If your friend's interests are changing perhaps you are just a late bloomer. Why don't you suggest trying new interests together? Or why not try to embrace their new interests & see what they are into now. If it is a friendship that you want to keep perhaps trying something different is worth a go.

    As far as I can tell, friends will come and go from your life.

    Just learn to respect everyones choices and don't try to manipulate people into remaining friends. It won't work and you'll end up being labeled as an ass.

    Nothing you do is guaranteed to help you keep friends, accept that life will always be changing and nothing stays forever. Derive joy from the experiences you have with your temporary friends, not the people themselves. This is because memories are forever, and friends are not.
