[quote=Anonymous]Are you expecting too much? I love my friends, but we don’t talk and text frequently. I know I “disappoint” the frequent group texters, but that’s not just me. With my family and busy job, I make plans far in advance, and I try to give every friend or friend group a “turn”…so if I see a former roommate (from a group house) group out for dinner in July, I’m not going to make plans with them again until I get a chance to see my cousins, or my college friends, or former coworkers,  or mom friends from our former daycare. So I have kind of a rotation where I see people, but not the same people often.

If you were asking me to make plans frequently or wanted to text frequently, that’s too much for me and I don’t have enough time and energy to see you as much as you might wish. If you keep pushing I will likely back off. I’m not saying all of this is true for you, I’m just trying to offer some insight.

It might be helpful to scale back your expectations of how frequently you want to text/call/see people.[/quote]
