    If people don't reach out much I feel they don't care for you.

    Asking “friends” how you feel why they never reach out can make you come off as needy in their pov. Its just gonna drive them away further.

      I would not want to beg for anyone's attention or love. If they cared, they would reach out naturally. Lack of effort just evidences how light they care about you. If you stopped reaching out, would you even hear from them again?

      Wow- me TOO! I have 2 business's and running a home, oh AND go to church for bible study. Text EVERYONE. I decided to stop. I have a HUGE issue with telling folks (HOW they make me feel), it makes be feel as though I am forcing them to respond how I WANT them to respond. Therefore, it wouldn't be a genuine behavior on their part...🤔😔 ** Anyway, I will just seek out others, and wait for True friendships.😊

    If every time you talk to your so-called friend (because let's face it that's what they are), the subject comes up as to why they never call and things never change, then they're either very slow or they JUST DON'T CARE. So, if they don't give a damn, why should you?!? Time to let them go, period.

      Thank you for your comment. For me when I communicate how I feel without any expectations from the other person, it works for me. Just because people don't respond in a way that I think/feel is right, it's more so that I've communicated what was on my heart. This way I am able to keep growing and evolving.

      If your always the one initiating and you find out that they reach out to eachother than that is how you know they are fake friends!! Many times it's because you have leveled up or they are jealous of you!

I too realize that if I didn't initiate contact they wouldn't bother. And this day I need some emotional support. Not one respond. It hurts.

    They should get the hint after you told them that she is always the one reaching out. It’s not rocket science. Just the fact that she said she is always the one reaching out they should get it. Friendship works both ways. People sometimes just get busy.

    I hope you still monitor, I have found that when I have started to set this boundary and asked "friends" to make more effort they have said "if that's how you feel, then you can go, but I value our friendship" (paraphrasing) or getting angry with me for expressing this dissatisfaction in the first place.
    This is the sign you aren't valued aside from last resort distraction, no?

    @BeFreeProject: Thank you for making and sharing this video.
    Are you a life coach or therapist?
    Please make more videos on here revealing your gems on how to build genuine friendships. Also, if you wouldn't mind, please create a video where you discuss where you were emotionally and mentally before getting better all the way up to know.
    I agree and disagree with some of things you mentioned in the video.
    I do feel that if there is an issue in the friendship, it is important to discuss it.
    But keeping in touch should just happen naturally. Everyone knows that communication, keeping in touch and doing their part in the friendship is important. Even if we are busy with life.
    Then again, maybe they have changed emotionally and mentally and have stopped communicating with their other friends too.
    So basically I am seeing two sides to this. Lol.

  • @CrystalReneeMusic

    I'm the friend that does not reach out. Because I'm very happy in my own space. I don't constantly need to be in the presence of other people. I actually prefer to be alone.
    I also don't like when ppl constantly reach out to me. Every now and again is okay. But I feel like many ppl are codependent on their friends. Making their friends become the source of their happiness. Which is not okay.
    Learn to be okay with being comfortable in your own space, alone. Why would anyone want to be around you, If you don't want to be around yourself, alone.

      I don't think people wanting to reach out and create a friendship means they're not happy with themselves or that they are codependent. Sometimes people just enjoy others company. If you don't that's fine, but you need to communicate that from the beginning.

    Seriously, this is not the way a true friendship should work ! Yeah, this type of ''friends'' sometimes showcase this kinda sucky attitude towards your hard tryings to maintain the relationship. It's kinda disrespectful from their side (of course only if they are your friends). You don't really expect an aquaintance to treat you like his bestie (do you ?).
