eh, that's an entirely common existence anon.
98% of the friends you make are out of convenience for wherever you are in your life, not in that you are using them but a "I'll keep seeing these people for the next few years of my life so were friends now" way.
I can say that personally for me there is a big distinction between those friends and someone who genuinely cares about you.
I've only met two people my entire life who are the latter and while yeah i don't actually see them regularly, i always think of how lucky i was to meet them in the first place.
I know that ultimately if i was in trouble or needed to talk to someone they would be there for me and i would be there for them anytime so neither of you need to be in regular communication because you both know that.
everyone has individual responsibilities anon, it's just a sad aspect of life, your friends can't always be there and a lot of time you won't see them for a long time.
it doesn't take away the positive experience you get from knowing them though, in truth I'd say that i genuinely care more about those two friends i don't get to see often than most of my non-primary family members.
