threeplusfireOne of the reasons why I was called a bad friend was that I did not call for weeks.
For the people that know me, I have always been like this. Weeks or months of intense contact, and then weeks or months of sporadic contact. I have always been that way. I am sad that it seems uncaring or undevoted to some people, but that is just how I am. I haven't talked to Gene but three times so far this year, but I still feel like he is one of my close friends. Melynda and I will go weeks without speaking. Kevin and I don't talk for months at a time. But when we pick up the phone, we're right back together.
I'm bad about initiating contact, I admit. I'm still working off years of shyness. I cycle through periods of social behavior and periods of reclusiveness. I don't think it is all that unusual. Is it wrong to ask others to accept that? I don't know.
