I normally am not the person that reaches out to others, not to friends or family. So, I’ve decided that it is something I need to work on. I have friends that reach out to me, and I only sometimes respond to them. It’s important to be the one who reaches out first because I want my friends to know that I care about them. I feel the same way about reaching out to my family.
Even a simple text message let people know you are thinking about them. Sometimes, just a text message can ignite a conversation. It would be great to talk to friends and family, but it is sometimes extremely hard for me to send a text message. I’m going to write it on my to-do list; if it’s on my list, it will get done.

I’m the same way. I’m trying to work on this too. I understand that people around me want to invest time in getting to know me. But I have a hard time putting that same effort in investing time in them. I’m working on it though.

All we can do is work on it. We put in our effort, maybe just a text message, and then see what happens.

I understand this completely. I rarely even answer texts because I don’t want to answer all of the questions. How are you? Do you want to do something? Why don’t you ever do anything anymore?

Those are hard questions to answer. I made some friends from the support group I used to go to. They understand when I don’t reply or don’t know how to answer a question. It’s nice having friends that understand what we’re going through.
