Is it just me?
2 weeks ago
Whenever I try to make new friends and keep in touch, I always struggle due to having ADHD and not a lot of free time to chat, so when I do have time I can't talk to everyone.
But, I ultimately find that friendships die out due to mutual lack of communication, and we just drift apart. All the friends that I've managed to keep around, still never message me though. I'm always the first one to engage with people.
Is that common, or what is it about me that makes it that I'm so easily forgotten? On one hand, I feel bad that the friendships ended and feel a little guilty for letting them get to that point, but at the same time people have an equal opportunity to reach out to me as well and they never do.
I'm turning 30 this year and just realizing that I have like 2 friends that actually talk to me, and the rest are people that I just talk to and it feels very one directional.

It makes me want to just not message people to test and see if they'll also initiate, but I also think I'd feel shitty for trying to test people like that.
I try to keep friends tbh but for me
Work gets in the way and ngl
I just dont poke anymore because I really have nothing new going on in life so I dont have new talking points
It sucks
But thats how It be for me
I also self-isolate when my mental health declines, then I always feel really awkward trying to touch base with people again after such a long period of silence. Pretty sure that's what happened when we stopped chatting.
I am trying to do better and aim to be more active with people who do actually invest their time with me too.. it's a two-way street so to speak.
