It's normal for friends to lose contact after college, but if we really value a relationship, we must take the initiative to maintain it.

College Friendship: Friendship made in college life is unique. This is the time when we not only study with our friends, but also share precious moments of life. But as soon as college ends and the race of life begins, many friends suddenly go out of contact. This question often comes to our mind that why does this happen?
1. Career and personal responsibilities
After college, everyone gets busy with their career and future. Some people start looking for jobs, some go to different cities or countries for higher education. Due to busy daily routine, people do not have time to talk to friends and gradually the contact starts breaking.
2. Priorities of life change.
During college, friendship is our priority, but after college, family, job, relationships and other responsibilities become more important. Due to this change, many friends gradually go out of contact.
3. Shifting to another city or country
After college, many friends move to different cities or countries. Due to the new place, new environment and new challenges, they are unable to maintain their old friendships. With time, this distance increases and the contact ends.
4. Communication gap despite the digital age
In today's era, with the help of social media and technology, it has become easier to keep in touch with friends. Still, many times people hesitate to start a conversation or think that the other person might be busy. This is the reason that gradually the communication gap increases and the friendship fades.
5. New friends and new company
After college, people start getting new jobs, new colleagues and new friends. People become more busy in their new social circle, due to which the distance from old friends starts increasing.
6. Danger of secrets getting out -
In college life, you get to know many secrets of your friends, like their love affairs, which if come out through you, it can create problems for them. That is why some friends think it is better to 'ghost'.

1. Message or call friends from time to time.
2. Keep up the conversation by connecting on social media.
3. If possible, try to meet at least once a year.
