Christ, GeauxHomeLittleD, it felt like I was reading my own thoughts 
I've always been the quiet one, I never could stand the loud and obnoxious ones. There are very specific types of people I befriend, and stay friends with. I hate cliques. Even in high school, I would hang out with different types. I had a few buddies from my hockey team, a few nerd friends, a few stoner friends, etc.
I'm sure we all experience getting older, and falling out with those friends. We all have responsibilities now, families, and little time for anything else. I don't speak with my family, either. I have the same type you have, and it just dawned on me one day that I'm better off without them. My wife and kids are all that matter to me. Sometimes I'll miss my family members, but it's a fleeting feeling, because then I remember why I don't bother with them in the first place.
