I remember having a friend whom I was always reaching out to. I was the one to text, call, and arrange plans. After a while, it started to feel one-sided.I decided to conduct a little experiment. I stopped reaching out, and eventually, a month passed; the silence was deafening.That’s when it hit me – if your friend never initiates contact, they don’t value the relationship as much as you do.It’s a tough pill to swallow but a vital indication to recognize. Friendships should be balanced, with both parties making an effort.
