Do friendships get worse over time?

Been reading back old messages from 2009 and hardly recognize her anymore, the way she text was fun and she put a lot of input but she never phones me anymore, she never writes those x's. just the little things have stopped,

Not sure why though.

Anyone else find friendship more exciting at first?

yes... they deteriorate if you don't interact with the person enough

Or too much. When people get comfortable they might forget your value, so they don't make an effort to do the little things like 'xo' anymore, it's partly out of boredom, partly out of years of distrust since friends usually go through drama that drifts them apart, but more importantly it's just a simple question of time.

It seems we are conditioned to lose appreciation for the things we do the most, eat too much food and it tastes banal, listen to too much music and it sounds banal, see your friends too much and they become banal.

Cruel world.
