continually looking back is the behavior of someone who is truly unhappy with their life and where they feel they're going. someone who knows deep down that they have nothing left to offer the world, nor will they.

There is the old saying that if you don't know where you come from you can't know where you are going.
People looking back fondly on their lives and remembering the people they have known and the places they have been as well as the events of their lives is what shapes the future for people as they move forward. A person can be a positive person, looking forward and aiming for the future and what it will bring and still have some roots anchored in their past.
Anyone who can truly just forget their past and the people/places/events that shaped it and who can shrug off the people in their lives to move forward are a little sociopathic and I would imagine if they truly dug into themselves they would find out they aren't as happy as they have convinved themselves they are.
