Why can't people look into other peoples eyes?

There's a time in your life that you realise you just can't do everything... And this usually involves friends. At school there is nothing you have to worry about but going to class, having recess and going out with your friends.
As time moves on people begin to depend on themselves and therefore they must get jobs to support themselves. Then when school finishes you have suddenly been placed in the real world where you must decide what to do.
People usually go to university or go to fulltime work... and this is where the problems begin to arise, as there is suddenly so much more to worry about in life. Life isn't just about hanging with your friends anymore and it sucks.
But what sucks more is when friends kinda can't seem to let go and let you do your own thing. From this people tend to put guilt onto other friends for not being there, not being at that party, not supporting a friend when in need. But really all those things shouldn't matter. The friendship should always be there at all times and should be able to be picked up at anytime. Even if that means its 2 weeks before you see someone, that friendship will be picked up and held onto again.
Guilt will in turn push people away, just as much make people feel bad. And therefore are not being the friend they could possibly be.
Obviously everyone has different values and feelings on situations but people should really think about other peoples lives and feelings and maybe just maybe look into other peoples eyes.
I'm in the city now and am far away from my school friends, but I don't look at this as a bad thing but more so as an opportunity to spread my wings... meet new people and stand on my own two feet.
I am away, but not that far away that I still feel obliged to go home and to go to those events I'm supposed to go to. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to go back at all... as maybe then i will fully grasp my new surroundings. But the guilt comes back and I obviously want to not hurt anyone... but sometimes I've realised that I need to think about myself... and what I really want to do. Its the only way to be totally happy and content with my actions... and really I was not happy on the beaches. I was bored and ready to challenge myself.
I wish my friends could totally understand that I'm doing this for me and only me. I want them all in my life, but its just not going to be all the time. We all have different paths, whether they are planned or not... But now I must follow mine, the best I possibly can.
