I used to be shocked to hear people say things like this of completely losing touch with old pals when I was very young and just in high school, like some kind of tragedy must have happened. You always believe you and your merry band of troublemakers will stay always in touch forever, but as the years have passed the same happened to me. Life changes so drastically that it forces you to move on, I am hardly in touch with any of my childhood friends. On the rare occasions I hear of them I realise they have become completely different people.

[@lovelycoccinelle]

There is a beautiful sadness to that. I just got out of my teenaged years and I'm already losing touch with all my old friends. It saddens me that things must change, but memories are a powerful thing. We can always reminisce on the good times. "It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all"❤ It's like the ending of the Breakfast Club, isn't it? We all sadly know that the characters likely never spoke to one another again, but that doesn't make the movie any less good.

[@kenlompart9905]

Same here, a couple have even passed away, that's when you realize how much things have changed and you'll never get it back.

[@brianmeen2158]

@@kenlompart9905what’s also sad is when you do Run into a good friend from your past and you make plans to get together. You hang out with them and realize that although they are still nice good people - that both of you are much different People at much different stages in your life. That same magical bond is simply no longer there and that’s something you can’t force . There have been times I’d rather just remember the good times in our youth instead of trying to create something new and weird

[@regenjo]

Basically like coworkers from previous jobs.

[@PlottingTheDownfall]

thats exactly it. I was once in a signed band, on MTV, I left in the early 90s. I'm still in the music industry, but in a different role, and when I attend award shows, or other things, i reconnect with people I hung out with or shared the stage with every week 30 years ago, and it's hugs and kisses, but it's just like seeing old work friends you get drinks with when attending trade shows, you catch up but then go live your life and maybe it's another year or two before you see your "friends" again. The other thing is that you know the difference between their public persona and the real person.

Yeah people mistake good film chemistry with real life chemistry. Even if it is real life chemistry, it doesn't mean you'll forever be inseparable until you die

Ran into Rob Lowe in Ventura a couple of years ago....totally a Class act guy. We are the same age...he looks ten years younger than me. Motivational really.

[@eclecticx]

Yep, that's exactly how it is with the people I grew up with. We rarely talk now but when we do get together, it's like no time has passed at all. We connect, still family, one and all returned to teens and the next day, oh the next day can be really bad with the hangovers. Bunch of crazy kids who came of age during the 80s. Wild? Oh yeah. Barely scratches the surface.

[@donaldbutcher1260]

Mr Loew's ego is just a little out of control. He quit The West Wing because the writers took the focus off of him and spread it around to the other characters.

[@LoudenSwain]

I’ve always considered Rob to be a very low person in character

[@Mybpeterson]

Rob was hired to be the star of the show. That's how it was pitched, a day in the life of WH staffers and he was supposed to be the central character. The president wasn't even supposed to be the focus, but Martin Sheen was just too good to keep playing down his role. It turned into a show that starred Martin Sheen and the entire ensemble. Rob didn't have a problem with that and stayed on the show for four years before going on to do other things. He even reprised his role in the last season of the West Wing. One of the best written shows ever to appear on television.

[@MrOctober44]

As previously stated, he was supposed to be the star of the show initially. Ntm, that was about 25 years ago. A little presumptuous to think he's still the same person or couldn't have changed in the intervening years

[@Mickey-1994]

Is that really ego? He was told that he would be the lead and that didn't happen. Focusing on all the characters was better for the show but I can get why Rob Lowe wanted to move on after a few years. He did return for the West Wing special in 2020. Everyone has clearly buried the hatchet and moved on.
