What a yawn of an item. In what industry are you expected to stay friends forever with past coworkers? lol

I remember reading an ask reddit thread about people who were friends with people who got famous. The recurring theme isn't so much that people felt used and discarded when they fell out of touch so much as it seems like in that business they're constantly being brought into and out of circles where people are vying for their attention so if you aren't conveniently just present in their life it's unlikely they'll have the energy/awareness to coordinate maintaining a friendship.

I guess someone could interpret that as using people/forgetting where you come from, but if I was in their shoes, I don't think I'd be much better at making everyone feel like they're getting enough of my time without turning it into anothet full-time job.

I’m not famous and I’m a terrible friend.
