Maintaining Friends

es_bk
es_bk

Do anyone else feels that maintaining friends or friendships is "hard?" I understand that the phone can work both ways or whatever method of communications. However, I typically go through times where I do not feel like communicating for perhaps weeks or longer. When I did try my best, it seemed forced. I find myself erasing texts and taking forever to figure out what to say or to say it better. I could go on about the reasons.

Those are areas that can hinder progress in healthy friendships. Thank you guys. This has given me a few areas to think about.

I find that your really close friends you feel the connection with and you don't have to talk all of the time however I do believe all relationships need some nurturing

If you feel that way, then that is a big problem. It means you do not value your friendships. Emotionally go back to the drawing board.

SunCloudJD, I think I understand what you saying. Thank you. Pyrcejosh1987, that is an interesting perspective.

It can be hard when the friendships are loveless and have not much meaning.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
