Do you lose interest in people after knowing them for long?

Question

ohsheeT · Accepted Answer

No not really.. I'm pretty picky on who I let in... so if I'm your friend It's because who you are what you're all about

And if that's the case then you have very good qualities that I like

In lthere's people that call people friends and when that happens. It's usually on the true friend and the other person is just a friend when they need something.
It seems like.

But if I call you friend , i'm pretty loyal
And if it's a relationship.
I'm very loyal. And if I didn't think it was going to work, I wouldn't even start it. I would just remain friends

It happens a lot of times when two people just aren’t meant to be and both persons create a fantasy in their heads of what the other person is like only to really get to know one another and find out that they aren’t all what they made them out to be.

That’s why it’s important to really genuinely try to get to know someone. Not make someone into someone they just may not be either to figure out it’s not going to work or build a more lasting bond and relationship.

Also, some people just grow apart and change.

There's certainly a reason for the fires taming and possibly going out when you've known someone for too long. You know too much about them and it leads to friend-zoning.

However in some cases there's a forever love that reduces to a slow burn... only to be rediscovered and fanned back to life after both individuals have gained experience and understanding of the world.

Not at all, the more I know them the more I'm drawn to them, I don't believe in loosing interest unless they do something that turns me off... i loose interest quick in that case.

HawkPerception · Answer

No. The longer I know someone, the more I generally care and am loyal the them.

Anonymous · Answer

They decide, not me.
If they're not worth it, I surely will lessen even my courtesy to a level they know I'm just being formal and am forced to interact with them.

If there's a good level, it keeps normal.

As for 'losing interest'.. maybe.
Like I've decided not seeing my closest friend anymore for him not taking boycotting Genocide supporters seriously. It is just absolutely disgusting.

So.. yes. I lost interest due to his actions and beliefs and I shall not compromise mine being neutral with his likes.

I mean to sayI lost interest due to a reason.. not just time.

NicholasRedone · Answer

@liaraven sometimes I wonder if people are imitating me or just crushing on me and trying to act cool. However as the overthinking 30 year old that I'm, and an introvert, surely it's all in my mind lol. Checks phone 📱😅

ChicoFromThe305 · Answer

Nah that's toxic but I've had this happen to me a lot, I don't care tho cause they learn something new about me if they ever try to return, they will find themselves in my absence.

DizzyDesii · Answer

YourExLover69 · Answer

Nope I don't. But I lose interest quick when a girl is rude, racist, xenophobic, islamoph0bic, cheating, ghosting me & ignoring me.

NathanDavis · Answer

not at all, no...  my longest time friend in this life... been just over 20 years and we still feel like it's the first days... lol

Zack-Bann · Answer

Time is irrelevant except for showing me their true colors If I like the person beyond the superficial layer I will like them indefinitely

Nikki1989 · Answer

The human experience of “losing interest” is usually tied to a desire for novelty, growth, and connection. I, personally, have rarely ever experienced it.

strateguy632 · Answer

No, only if they do something annoying.

AMS700CX4u2 · Answer

Long term friendships come from accepting each others shortcomings.

Billlewis · Answer

I think this tends to be more common among women than guys. This is my opinion only.

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

I think it's related to what we do, how we evolve, on our own and together, after years of relations, be it for friendship or romance. I don't think time itself can separate me from closed ones, but evolving tastes, recognition or philosophies may provoke that

KostasKouvalis · Answer

Usually they loose interest in me. If you've been close with someone for years, I don't understand how you can suddenly just loose interest in them

trumpetplayerforlife · Answer

Some people can get boring but I find if they do they aren't meant for my life the people I keep around I don't get board of

exitseven · Answer

No, I lose interest if they lose interest in me. I have the same friends I had from grade school.

Theguywhogoesnude · Answer

Seems less or more depending but all the same

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Not usually... I tend to find people very interesting.

Valdemort · Answer

Nope. If something significantly changes I might feel like the contact is unsustainable, but time would never have me tire of a person I've let in.

beefcakebradybatson · Answer

I've had a few friends for more than a half-century, but most dull-normal plain Janes and Joe Averages bore the h**l out of me.

Virtualgh0st · Answer

Nah. I'm f ienda with a couple of people and. I still find them fascinating to listen to because I wonder sometimes what's going on in their head? Like where that thought from?

Shortkay4568 · Answer

(Just about his pubic hair length and pencil thin) when hard... lost allll interest in him...

PrincessC16 · Answer

It really depends on the person's personality. I would say generally no. I don't lose interest over time if they're what I'm looking for.

dustybiker2 · Answer

No. People grow and change and that often causes a connection the break. You no longer see eye to eye.

slatyb · Answer

Not often unless they behave badly. I'm pretty good at judging people's depth soon after I meet them.
