There's not much else to do when someone is too busy for other plans. Then how much distance is too much. How much cuts is communication are too many. When is waiting out of the question.
I can easily get into the category if being a cacti friend. I'm there but I do not tend to message people so often. And by virtue of this habit I do not have busy apps or other things. Tending to keep to my track and the rest of the things I need to do during my day, it gives me no time whatsoever to get into conversations. However, I do have my cacti friends I can message from time to time and get my deep thoughts out and get some feedback.
There are some other friends that are more regular in my messages. Not the most common thing. We are all adults and life gets harder every month. If you leave in this country, it is worse every day. One gets busy. Things do not go as planned and there are others that go haywire.
But how does one manage the idea of keeping up with your friends if you're not the best conversationalist but do like to keep up with their lives? I think there's not a good way of having the best chance of doing such a thing without getting into some troubles. Well, not problems per se. The thing is that schedules are too variable and people do not get aligned in the best way to share some time to talk.
I could write a message and get a response the next day. Maybe the next week. Or maybe not getting a response ar all. The conversation dies and it stays dead most of the time. Then a day in another time of the year, the conversation might start out of the blue. And everything might just be normal or not.
But when you're more of a listener, sometimes there's no way to keep track of your friends without feeling like you're wasting their time. No thing to do but keep your time and cool. They might come around.
Do you consider there's a better way to do this? Maybe trying to schedule time for conversations or let things follow their natural course. The latter has the added risk of drifting apart. People on the same river night not end in the same parts of the current or banks. And that is just how life goes.
It is one of those situations when you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
