[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP - maybe this is not your friends, but here's my take. I'm super awkward socially and am not great at knowing the right thing to say or do. I'm also extremely introverted and definitely prefer to be left alone when I'm not feeling well, including not wanting to read or reply to a lot of texts that feel like people mining for information that it's too taxing for me to provide at the moment. So my instinctive take is that I am being kind by leaving someone alone and staying out of their way while they recover, and I'll be sure to ask all about it when they're well enough to meet up or talk.

For a few extreme things for people we know well I'll send care packages (eg bypass, transplant, or starting chemo). BUT I'd also love to know if one of my friends WISHED I'd been in touch - I'm not a mind reader, but I do love my friends and am always ready to be there if they need me.

I say that if you otherwise love them, tell them you could use some company rather than scolding them for not having been in touch.[/quote]

It's the super poster... again.[/quote]

PP here - and, what? I'm not on DCUM too much. Maybe you're mixing me up with someone else.[/quote]
