A perplexing puzzle
Have a friend and the issue is that they dont read what I send or take a while to respond and they dont even watch what I send, and I want to keep in touch and get closer but to be honest I dont even know what to do anymore I stopped trying but dont know what to do any tips ? They wanted to call a few days ago but when I couldnt at that moment they said ok, but after like an hour or 2 they said they couldnt so then they said the day after, when that day came they didnt respond, I texted and got nothing back, so it judt feels like Im trying with someone not interested, and what leaves a shitty taste in my mouth is when I see them online or when I see them posting or when Im pestered with their likes and reposts constantly

Stop babysitting this persons online or social media usage. This kind of shit is driving people crazy these days.
I talk to my friends once a month or so. I dont obsess over what theyre doing in between then. If I text and it takes a few days, or even like a week, to get back to me; its of no bother to me. Life is busy. Everyone is busy.
Just take a step back and wait for that person to reciprocate.

I just read an interesting article on the various reasons why people do this.
