If I can't see or have a conversation in person with someone I don't have any interest to call/text/just keep in touch with them. It's almost like they don't matter to me anymore because I can't feel them next to me. Even when I went to Arkansas for a few months, I Can probably count on both hands all the times I talked to my sisters, (I'm super close with them by the way) the rest of my family didn't get a single phone call! And when I came back, I didn't call ANY of the people I grew close with there. Not even my best friend has heard from me! When I finished school I made NO effort to keep in touch with my fellow classmates and friends. I just Sever all connection to the people that arent in driving distance, and I don't feel bad about it or anything! PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who does this! I don't do it on purpose and I feel so weird about it, like I'm a heartless person or something <:C

    Just the fact you grammatically exaggerated and emphasised things makes this look really fake, or you realise how ridiculous this is..
    Obviously some family, recent friends, short-term neighbours etc, don't require contact after you leave, but when you say 'EVEN my sisters' it shows you know this isnt right.

      .. This isn't fake (That's actually just how I type, because I want people to understand what I'm talking about) But.. That kinda doesn't answer my question.. Maybe If I re-phrase it differantly?

    Haha I know what you mean. Don't worry though. I think as time passes, we'll get that urge to call them again!!

    Well hey guess what? I know exactly how you feel. Sure it sounds jerkish, and such but I feel no need to call old friends when they're not so close or if I don't see them anymore. I do think about them, however, and miss them. You should try what I do. At least call, not all the time, but just to keep something there... some relationship. Perhaps over time, we'll get that kick to keep in touch more often:)

      I'M NOT ALONE!!! :D I've tried to talk to them but I normally pick up the phone dial in the first 6 digits than put it down and go do something fun.. like watch paint dry... Thats fun lol And I DO think about them, but I guess I end up with an exaggerated memory of them and feel like calling and remembering how they really are kinda ruins the illusion :/

    I'm saying you've already recognised it's abnormal, so why not change it? Otherwise what's the point in asking if you weren't thinking of changing if we all said no.
