I miss my friends... But dont think they miss me!

We have just finished 6th form, and gone off in various different directions of the earth, and we all promised to keep in touch, and let eachother know what we have been upto, but i seem to be the only one thats emailing and calling, should i take this as a hint!?! It really sucks because we were all really close at school

I totally get what you mean, I feel like this sometimes as I have a big group of friends who live in another country from me and I'm often the one who has to make the first step at staying in touch.

I think for some people, it's just more important to keep in contact with friends, and I'm sure your friends would have made contact if they hadn't heard from you in a while! Maybe they just assume that you're gonna be the one to make the first move now.

When I went to High School, I promised all my friends in Middle School that we would stay in contact seeing as most of us were going to different high schools. The truth is, I made new friends at my high school and I've lost contact with my old friends. If you're making the effort and they are not, take a break from them. Move on and make new friends. :smile:

In short: No. I'm one of those people who is generally just really crap at keeping in contact, and I'm so grateful to my friends for making the effort :redface:

. Unless it is repeated, and if they seem genuinely glad to hear from you, then I'd keep doing what you're doing.
OR....just get Facebook - that way you stay in contact so easily. Don't cling to them too closely, you'll all reconvene in between university terms, anyway, when they realise that none of their uni mates live in the area :wink:

Same here...the chances are they'll thank you for doing it, you shouldnt be as quick to read too much into it, if you were close in school I see no reason for anything changing

I feel the same. I'm always the one to start the MSN conversation, always the one to text, always the one to write on their walls on Facebook, always the one to try to organise meeting up. It sucks, especially when often my friends don't even bother replying to my texts or on MSN! But then when we do meet up, we have a good time, so I don't think it's that they don't like me...I hope! I think some people are just a bit lazy and if you always make the first move, they come to expect that...but still, it's not nice! I would say try to organise a big meeting-up - continue to make the effort to keep in touch, because you don't want to lose them. I suppose you just have to be the bigger person and always be the one to make an effort if they can't be bothered.
