When you depress the clutch pedal, either when changing gears or sitting at a light in 1st gear, you are using the throwout bearing. They do wear out over time, and you'll wear it out faster with the clutch pedal depressed for long periods of time waiting at stoplights - it's really best to sit at the light in neutral and then shift into 1st just before the light changes...
