Do you call, text, or see your friends and loved ones out of boredom, loneliness, or because you genuinely want to talk and see them?
 
Genuinely want to talk.
But I'm an admittedly bad correspondent.

I need time to myself to do stuff around here.
Also my life isn't that eventful so I need time to replenish my convo material.

I used to text more often when I was younger.
You don't seem like a bad correspondent on here, lol. But, I like your answer. It's authentic and genuine.

Thanks, I try to be.
Like you said on that other thread I have been more passive and people pleasing in the past.
It has taken me time to learn to speak my truth/articulate myself more -
to walk the line between "nice", and "punk". Lol.

Ok but I really should go for a bit then.

You're welcome. Some people are more passive and people-pleasers than others.
 
well if i don't make the effort, i would never see or converse with them because they never seem to reciprocate the action
I don't bother with those who don't bother with me. Friendship works both ways. I know people who just message me when they need something or bored, vs. genuine people. I just watch their actions and laugh. I don't even engage anymore.
 
i get that, but then i wouldn't have anyone at all.
Everyone's different. I don't contact those who don't bother with me, and those who use me. I'm good, all set. I never contact someone out of boredom or loneliness. I'm never either or. But, still, I'm authentic and my friendships are genuine. I contact people because I genuinely want to talk or see them.
 
you're lucky then. i do have a couple of friendships that i cherish, but they're just useless at remembering i'm alive. they've got many people in their lives and things to keep them occupied.

I never give anyone the time of day who uses me. I'm all set with that. I don't even put up with that behavior.

remember, this is mainly a loneliness forum, so for some of us we're beggars who can't be choosers. it's not that i'm being mistreated by them and if I reached out for help they would gladly give it, but I'm just not in their A-list I guess is the best way to put it. It's not like I don't get anything from the relationship, it's just not really on my terms for the most part.
