Communication is a Two-way Street
People make me laugh sometimes. Every so often someone will say to me, “you never talk to me anymore!” I can’t help but think, “hey, you don’t talk to me either,” whenever this happens. Communication goes both ways. I’ll try to keep up with people, but if I feel that they aren’t putting an effort in, I don’t bother anymore because I get the impression that they don’t care.
Now, with that said, there are a number of people that I interact with that I can go months at a time with not talking to. There are two big differences between them and the other set of people though. For one, I’ve never heard the “you never talk to me anymore,” but rather it is something like “I haven’t talked to you in so long.” Second, we often pick up right where we left off. The only reason why we don’t talk to each other for so long often comes down to us both being very busy. I guess that’s what makes these people such great friends.
