Yes your not the youngest here :p
I'm only 20
But being 20 I do know what your talking about. I finished school when I was 17, from there I have been through a Job and a have earned a diploma in Graphic Design.
But really it just happens. People you weren't that close to or even the ones you were close just drift apart. I'd say you were never that close as friends in the first place but in reality theres multiple reasons for why it happens.
All in all I've kept most of my close friends in contact. Though that's really only... 4 people And even then there are times I don't see any of them for months. But everyone else that I was kinda close to have vanished or I don't see. It just seems to be the way it all works.
What always annoys me is when a bunch of people meet up and some can just make friends just like that. Mean while I'm like... "wait? How did that... Where'd everyone go?"
From what I have gathered large groups of friends don't happen unless you there is a reason for everyone to meet up again. As soon as what ever motive is lost people will go there own ways.
But for the part in not building something new, I'm exactly the same. I'm nice to people, but I don't really pursue the friendship. Mostly because I'm lazy and some what of a loner. And the friendships I do have are currently on a string. One friend has moved 5 hours away, one already lives an hour and a half away and wants to move to England, the other is facing possible jail time. The only person I can count on atm is my girlfriend, who is also my best friend.
Only advice I can tell you is, never be shy, if there's a little voice in your head saying "talk to him/her" do it, hold onto what you have and what you gain (but don't choke it) and don't get depressed and stop.
