...a friend, whom you have known for ages, never bothers contacting you?

 

Do you try to keep in touch because you're a good friend...

or

Do you not bother contacting them since Friendship is a Two Way Street...

 

I believe in the first, that even though Friendship is a two way, i still wanna be a good friend; someone who will always be there...
But sometimes it gets pretty tiring to the point of madness...
 

 

So my question is, is it worth being that Good Friend or is better to just Move On?

I'm not one to bother with wishy washy relationships. If it's someone that I was never close with in the first place, then I'll just leave it at that. Pretty sure I won't miss them or regret not keeping contact. However, if it's someone that I have a connection with on a whole other level then of course I'd try my best to resume contact and find out what's going on.

 

Most of the time though? It's better to just move on. Don't spend your time on people who won't spend theirs on you.

Are they busy with life or dealing with something? Maybe it's good to check up on them, as the last poke, and go by the response (or lack of it).

not sure of that!

i just cant seem to contact them...so i'm not even sure of what's happening...

even if they don't ever reply?

 

 

I think being a good friend is important. If someone you've known for ages stops contacting you, if you don't bother contacting them, it makes you a hypocrite since you're doing the exact same thing.

what if you've tried contacting them loads of times, and they reply to you saying 'i'm busy, i'll call back' every time...wht to do then?

Lol if it was me, I'd give up after a few sincere tries. Idk about you though, so if you think it's worth still trying then by all means, go for it. You have nothing to lose.

It depends on the person and situation. Some people have a lot to deal with and just forget, or are too shy to initiate contact. If you keep contacting them and they keep blowing you off with an "I'm busy, I'll call back," then it might be better to back off and let them contact you if they still care about your friendship. Doesn't mean you have to cut ties completely, but don't stress too much over them either. If they are your friend and have a reason for not talking, they'll say it.

if u were important they WOULD call back. everybody have 5 mins to call back, no one is busy like that, rather they dont want call!

It depends on the situation honestly. There's a lot of friendships where I don't always keep up with them daily because we both stay very busy but we know we care about each other. I think the fact we catch up every now and then or even say hi is what matters. However, if I was in a friendship that I felt like the other just never cared to do the same I think I would just stop trying. I don't miss people easily and I can go a long time without talking to someone so if I get bothered by the fact you aren't trying to keep in touch with me, then that means it's probably gotten pretty bad.  :._.:

I'd check up on them from time to time, just to update myself with their life. I'd even put effort in communicating with them. But if he/she never bothered to contact me back even after all that, well, adios, friend.

If the person is purposely ignoring you then you should move on.

i guess i'll never know that...

Not keeping in contact doesn't necessary mean you're a bad friend or that they don't care. People move on in life to achieve greater things, meet new people, learn new skills, pick up a job and get on with their life. Sometimes they just need to put everything aside for a while to experience new things. If they choose not to contact you or hang around with you for the time being, then just respect their decision. This is from my point of view and experience  :)

 

Moreover, not keeping in contact with someone just because it seems like they aren't making 'that effort' to me just doesn't make much sense. If you value that friend so much then you should try to work out what is happening with them and get things straight. Don't just give up. I think you should try and work out what they're doing with their life and maybe you'll know what to do  :lol:

 

BUT, if your friend is one of those jerks who is brainwashed by games or is doing something that doesn't necessary bring good to his/her life then either fix them up if you can or break his/her bones!
