Hi Brian

Thank you for elaborating on the issue!

Whilst some people do this when they don’t like people there are other reasons why people act in this way.

1) People may have difficulties that they are not discussing.

2) Often people have fairly small circles of close friends. Then there tends to be friends that they talk to less frequently.

3) Some people have very busy lives, especially those with children and working for example.

4) It is really easy to read a text then put down the phone and forget about it.

I’m not trying to defend these behaviours; simply explain that at least some of the time the intent may be different. I think it’s great that you set boundaries by not interacting with people that don’t put effort into maintaining a relationship.
