What are common reasons why an old friend doesn't want to reconnect with you, speak to you again? someone you lost touch with, etc.?

Question

I know it happens a lot for people, in which friendships drift apart, grow apart from each other with age, the friendship fizzles out, they lose touch.

Let's say one of these people, attempts to reach out to one of their old friends they haven't spoken to in many years, but yet their old friend refuses to speak to them, doesn't want to reconnect with that person.

What are common reasons why someone doesn't want to reconnect with an old friend? is it normally because they now hold a grudge towards that person or have something against them?

They may be holding a grudge against a particular person or perhaps they just choose to try to forget about a certain time in their life. If someone struggled with a certain school or workplace they may wish to distance themselves from anyone they met through that endeavor (to avoid the memories).

Not every one is as sensitive as you. I felt so bad initially, I didn't give up. I wanted my friend back at any cost. No matter what. But there is a slight boundary between ego and dignity called self respect and you must respect your self respect.
Sometimes you just have to accept the fact that people don't need you anymore in their life.
Their work is done, maybe they are just bored of you. Accept their decision and move on.
