Social patterns occasionally change over the lifetime of individuals in subtle but significant ways. People who used to have lots of friends and a lot of friends gathering around them might turn to a smaller group of friends and fewer friends to hang out with. It is not a loss of interest in others, but can be a shift in priorities, experiences and emotional needs. Values, life experiences and personal development shape values about relationships. Having an understanding of these natural changes is part of the explanation for why there is an increase in restricted time, energy, and socializing throughout the years.
