I used to have a good group of friends but lately if I don’t text people first they don’t reach out anymore or they just don’t even respond. So, I just stopped trying to see who reached out and they barely do.
I understand people are going through phases of life and are busy. Some of my friends are in residency or medical school or in a toxic relationship. I understand some people may want to talk in person or call or text. But, I’m so tired of the only one putting initiative.
I plan a small get together and everyone will show up and have a good time. I host and I clean and I cook, and I love doing that for my friends but it’s tiring. I want to be called once or invited over. Why do I have to be the only one responsible for making plans? And, suddenly when I had phases where I didn’t I got accused of being boring because I’m married now.
Is it so hard to find people who want to reach out and talk once in a while? Like even once a month?
Does this get better?
