When a friend doesn’t respond to your text it’s on them right? Or do some people want you to try to reach out to them? Like they want you to say, “What’s wrong?” Or “I haven’t heard from you” when they drop your text?
I have always assumed that a dropped text means no further communication is desired. But I’m trying to understand and balance out knowing when a friend is a real friend and doesn’t understand why I won’t reach out to her, versus a friend who is passive aggressive or manipulative and is trying to get me hooked into enabling her.
Not sure if this makes sense... I will try to explain further if needed. I guess what I’m trying to get at is figuring out various neutral responses for dropped texts. In my past experiences time would go by and I would text them as if nothing happened and we might resume a friendship before it gets dropped again. I’m trying to figure out what’s best for me and what best supports friendship.
