I just can't relate to most of the people I grew up around anymore and it is getting worst the older I get. I have talked to a few people I knew years back in the last couple of years and they were on a completely different level than I am. Most of them have stayed true to their roots where I have not.
As you guys know I'm a conservative and I'm very set in my beliefs. I no longer drink, smoke or use drugs (except an occasional Norco Vicodin

). I'm very responsible with my own house, new car and good credit. Growing up I was liberal and so were ALL of my friends. Most of them came from poor or lower middle class families as I did. Well since I'm nothing like I was then I just can't relate to them anymore.
I'm not trying to be rude on snooty. I'm a very diverse person and like talking to all kinds of people. However I just can't see eye to eye with them anymore. BTW some of them have spent time in prison.
