    If both are extraverts, then not initiating contact possibly means that person doesn’t want to be friends anymore. Which is fine, sometimes it’s better for a friendship to end.

    If one is an introvert, then them initiating much less might not mean anything.

    If both are introverts, then not getting messages or calls about banal things may be preferable for both, making them ideal friends.

    • I am very introverted. Mostly happy by myself, got divorced last year. I rarely hit anyone up. But my friends call or text, sometimes a lot. Sometimes I have to hurt their feelings like I can’t talk for an hour on the phone, I got shit to do.

      My friends, a couple, showed up at my house yesterday and practically demanded I go to a park with them. I kept declining they kept asking. I’m so glad I went, it was wonderful springtime sun, barefoot in the grass, dirt, even the mud. I had been cooped up in the house for four days doing recertifications. Good people. I am lucky.
