I'm the guy trying to lose touch with you.
I'm the guy who's realized he'd rather do his own thing, and I'm the guy who'se realized he'd rather not be linked to high school life, and I'm the guy who's realized he wants to start afresh as an adult.
I'm going through a difficult period at the moment where I'm starting all over again, everyone I knew in the past has gone and I want to start again as a new person. Every time the phone rings I dread that it's an old friend, every time I hear a car door slam outside I freak out and think someone's going to come to my door and demand to know why I've been ignoring everyone for months.
If your friends are off doing their own thing, and want to forget about high school and all the drama and stupid kids' stuff that went along with it, then let them. Be a good friend to those that still keep in contact with you, and make an effort to see those that don't, but if it happens over a longer period then those guys probably aren't just too busy to keep up, they probably want to move on. Don't take it personally though, because (in my situation) it's not. It's not that I don't like those guys, it's more that I didn't like the person I'd become and I wanted to start with a clean slate.
If your friends make an effort to see you every now and then, then they're probably busy. If they never, ever contact you then it's not because they don't like you, it's because they don't like the life they've had since high school and want to start anew.
