Is it normal to dislike my friend?

Well I have this friend that has been one of my 'best friend's since we were one year old. Now he's changed and I don't really like him much. Is it normal to begin to dislike your friends after time?

    Yea :) it's normal. I dislike some of my very old friends, but I couldn't really stop hanging out with them, they're kinda like a security blanket if you know what I mean

    In today's world, a friend is anyone who knows your name, and you don't owe money.

    Friendship doesn't have to mean constant companionship, and maybe you are the one who has changed.

    Ten or 20 years from now, you might enjoy being found by him on facebook (or whatever replaces it), and reminiscing about what asses you both used to be.

    Just leave some room for the possibility that people change -- and sometimes change back.

    Epsecially as it's only been a year...You obviously didn't know him as well as you though and you've began to learn..Now you're getting the real him and you just don't like it.

    Yes. Completely, 100%% normal. Just means you've grown apart. It's not his fault, it's not yours. It just means the things you had in common when you were one no longer tie you together. There's no reason to officially end the friendship, but if you don't like hanging out him you shouldn't. Maybe in a few years from now you'll find each other again.

    Completely normal.

    People change, so try not to feel bad about it. I actually am not friends with anyone from my early childhood. When you get older, you learn about who you are, there will be changes when that happens.

    I've actually been friends with my best buddy since I was 12, so we%%u2019ve been friends for 6 years now. A lot of it also has to do with connection I think and that's the reason why me and my best friend have been friends and will be friends for so long.

    as you get older your personality changes and forms you into the person you'll most likely be for the rest of your life. thats why it gets harder to make friends the older you get, because people become less flexible and more set in their rut

    ofcourse, once they get into highschool or whatever they have different interests,
    different people they chill with,
    then one day they're a entirely a different person..so yea it happens

  • Yup!

    I agree with what the two posters above mine said.

    We all change over time, and we split different ways. Who you thought would be your best friend forever sometimes chages into a different person, and now you find yourself not seeing eye-to-eye anymore, and don't have as much fun as once before. Happened to me (well, kind of is now actually).

    So, yeah, in essence, it's just, we, as humans just change throughout the years, and we go our separate path's is all. No worries.

      I think if this person has changed and it isn't someone you feel connected to anymore that is more than normal. Too bad people do change over time! If I would have known this better, I am not sure I would have gotten married!
