Brady_to_Moss Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Lately i have noticed that no one contacts me anymore. Eaither phone, txt or even online. Its like i dont exist yet i talk to people and have a good core group of friends. Maybe about 6 guys i am always talking to and 2 girls. I need to get more girls in the picture but just dont know how to. I am very friendly with them.Talk and even flirt now...but nothing. Nothing comes of it. I am the one now who always has to start the convo with someone becasue they wont start it with me. Its frustrating.
loser101 Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 are your friends single or coupled up? couples are a bit more slack when it comes to keeping in touch and organising stuff. there could be a number of reasons: some of your friends might be going through a phase when they are not very social, others are used to your initiating contact, maybe you like attention more than they do. maybe you pick really laid back people - the downside of that can be laziness all sorts of reasons. people often get in touch when they want something, like arranging to do something - especially men - rather than just for a chitchat

I'm confused, are the 6 guys and 2 girls no longer contacting you, or are the new people you meet not contacting you?
patcha Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Yeah. I feel the same way. Sometimes people contact me to overwhelming levels, and I'll get tired. But during the times when no one contacts me at all, it can be a shot to my ego & other emotions. I'm wondering what's up? There's never really a balance in the contact which is what I want. Let me know if you figure anything else about this or how we should cope with it. lol. Goodluck!
carhill Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 IME, consistent and long-term contact comes from real life; going out together, eating at each other's homes, sharing interests. Most of my real life friends who remain in regular contact are those with whom I have substantial emotional bonds and share mutual interests and family lives with. Personally, I think there should be an ebb and flow in such dynamics. I like it when I have quiet time and I purposely don't over-stimulate friends, especially male ones. Reading one's friends can be a fine art and getting there comes from a lifetime of mistakes. If you want to talk with or see a friend, contact them. If you find that the only time you interact with someone is at your initiative, perhaps you should re-evaluate that friendship. TBH, I know lots of dickheads who are quite popular; in fact very popular. They're not popular with me, but that's just one datapoint
