Given that your high school friends are pretty much the most dependable ones that you're ever going to have; and meeting people after school is fated to be difficult, it absolutely sucks to find out that the ones that you do meet and thought that you did like aren't as great as you thought.
They're selfish, manipulative, narrow-minded, self-imposing, kinda stupid, and are as boring as everybody else. It is disappointing and heartbreaking! Obviously my friends aren't perfect and are flawed in more ways than one, but they certainly aren't stupid. And when people whom you liked and respected turn out to be just another couple of ignorant, obnoxious idiots.... ugh.
Maybe I'm just naive. That, or I held on to the Holden too much for too long. Either way, I've maintained a no-bullshit policy, and I'm the first person to sniff out insincerity of any kind.
On the upside, you realize how invaluable your real friends are, and there's a reason why they've been there for so long.
