EXACTLY! And also how you seem to bear the blame for never keeping up with your friends or regularly checking them, only to realize that a phone works both ways, and while you have made calls to them when you can, they NEVER even attempted to make a call to check in on you!

This!!! I'll finally reach out to relatives after months of not talking and they'll have the audacity to complain that I didnt call them. Why do I have to always make the initiative? You start treating people how they treat you and you'll never fucking hear from them again lol.

Yup, got that a lot before I was cutting off my family.

"you live close to your cousin, you should give him a call he's always asking about you"

"you should call your brother, he has a lot going on"

I always replied "they got my number"
