Look, if you’re the only one texting your so-called “friends” to check in, make plans, or just say what’s up, then let’s be real—they’re not actually your friends. Friendship is supposed to be a two-way street, but if you’re the only one driving, what’s even the point?
I’ve been there, where you feel like you’re always the one initiating every conversation. And it sucks. You start questioning if they even care or if they’re just keeping you around out of convenience. Spoiler alert: if they can’t be bothered to text you first every once in a while, they don’t.
People who actually value you will make an effort. They’ll check in, send a random meme, or even just say, “Hey, how’s life?” It doesn’t take much. But if you’re the only one holding the friendship together, maybe it’s time to let it go. Or keep these people at an arm’s length.
Look man some people, like me, are just bad at staying in touch, and greatly appreciate friends that reach out every now and then.
It should be easier to tell if people dislike you by whether or not they agree to hang out or not.
If you feel a friend should be texting you back more, just go ahead and ask why they aren’t.

If you don’t text your “friend”, then you are objectively not a friend; you are an “acquaintance” at worst.

This one trick that resolves most shitty movie plots. Why does OP choose to live their live like one of those shitty movie plots?
Maybe it’s because you’re texting them the same sort of shit you post on Lemmy
people are busy and have lives. I used to think like you in my early 20s, but then my life got supercomplicated years later and I became the person I loathed… I finally understood
Can’t imagine why none of OP’s friends want to stay in touch.
“Look”
No
