  • Random Question
    4 posts in the past month
    1. If you usually wait for friends to reach out first, why? What goes through your mind when you want to talk or get together but don’t initiate, and how do you view the friendship when they’re almost always the one reaching out?
    2. Why people ghost me ? 😭
    3. Psychologically, are 'you' supposed to have alimit if say a physically fit friend is always going on about weight management or is that other person meant to recognize that there's a limit to how much they need to bring that stuff up?
