I don't think that you ever lose your true friends. What you lose are contacts, people that you hung around with and did activities with. Pleasant enough and probably had good times with but they are not your true friends. I've just turned thirty as well, moved away from all my friends and work an unsociable job. So I understand where you are coming from.

I don't even really want to go out and try to meet new people. One or two in the area would be nice but apart from that. No thanks. I still have my true friends though. The people you might not see for six months but as soon as you do its straight back to normal. These are the people who hold your secrets, know you best and that you can feel totally comfortable with because of your history together. I still have my 3 best friends since 4 years of age and a couple from college and thats all anybody really has. 5 or 6 proper hardcore friends that you can always rely on.

Other people are just contacts that you come across from time to time when it suits. And I don't think that you will ever feel as comfortable with any new contacts that you make as your thirties is a different life with different prioritise and unfortunately making new friends will be down the list for most people compared to relationships, careers and families.
