@onlinepersona @frozenmolar I thought I did make friends at my old job.
These people do not seem very interested anymore, tho ._.

That - and the fact, that my new job is fully remote and on the other side of the country - is why I don't at my new job.

That sounds really sad, did you try to connect with them? I usually try to connect with old friends with festival blessings, e.g. Christmas. This removes the awkwardness for not connecting for too long. Then you can follow up by questions like how things are going.

But I guess sometimes it is really difficult to connect, since people just move on to dofferent stages of their lives.

@frozenmolar Sure I tried, we are connected through several channels as messengers or similar, but even when asking some questions they only reply sporadically and do not seem to connect to each other, as well.

Far from eye far from heart, I reckon.

That's really sad. But the important thing is you had good times in the past!
