Someone earlier sent me a topic for discussion and basically wants me to ask you guys How do you stay in touch with friends? because this person's obviously struggling to maintain their friendships and So I thought it'd be great for us to talk about it here in case anyone else may need the advice as well For me, I'm gonna say right off the bat if I have friends that are in the area I'll ask to go out to lunch or shopping or you know have them come along with me to an event But if it's someone that is you know across the country or in a different part of the world I will basically say That I am thinking of them like through text and ask to either chat on FaceTime or have a phone call and Do what I can to let them know that I'm you know still invested in the friendship And I know that things can get so tough with life being so busy and not being able to Keep in touch with everyone and you know, it's very natural to drift apart from people But for us who want to keep in touch with our friends, I feel like that's the best way But yeah, we love to hear your guys' suggestions and keep this conversation going.

Because it's easier than ever these days to communicate with people, we can call them, we can text them, we can message them via social media, we can meet them for lunch. Off the bat, I feel like I don't have enough context to help. Why is this person having so much trouble? Without clearly defining the problem, it's difficult to create a focused solution. For example, does this person have ADHD and they can't remember to keep up with friends? Here's a thousand possibilities.

I think you see you to stay in touch wanna me and my boys and then said we grew up together and we don't talk like we don't like actually use worse to talk we literally just send each other relatable videos on Instagram every other day with sent 123 and that's how we know we still cool right there which is send each other some bullshit look like like a TikTok and both but still cool call each other next week I some you know I ain't got as soon as some

Since I moved to the United States like eight years ago I can do you like hang out or sleepovers with my best friend off since kindergarten so what we do is that we text once in a while and it's totally fine because if they're your real friends you'll have to text Mary day to maintain their friendship

Keep in touch with people but like you know just call them text them son videos you know hang out stuff like that basically what you said

I use signal because I don't like when people read my messages that start sourced to read my messages

If I got good friends and they call me if they don't call me aware if they call me aware If you don't call me don't expect for me to call you because I'm not calling people. They don't call me I'm not calling people that don't make space for me. I'm not calling people that don't make time for me That's just not what I do So yeah, don't make space for people that ain't making space for you.

So basically me and my friends like most I got to cop um we like text on Snapchat or like we're like or we hang out every single weekend so yeah

Honestly you should be asking me because my friend from school we barely talk at all like the last time we talk was literally the day that we were in school literally the last day and then at the day she never contact me a movie I never contact her I guess just try to like say hey catch up on which I've been doing I guess and then I guess I will start a conversation I don't know for real because my phone should be good
