Mmm, this one is tough. I would be careful with this because friends might take this in a way that makes it seem like you don't like talking to them anymore. I know people might go "friends should realize people might be busy" but I believe friendship too takes work and effort from both sides to keep alive also, mostly for friends that you normally talk to an insane amount normally. If it is just that you're busy, let them know so they won't get offended if you can't contact them. If you just get tired of initiating conversation, its fine to back off and let friends try sometimes instead. But don't just go weeks or months without talking at all, it'll kill some friendships. Yes "some", some can do that, some can't.
I know this because some of my most important friends I've made suddenly gave this "I'm too busy to be bothered with you" vibe by both not responding and/or when they do, its short uninterested responses. Not just once or twice but for several weeks. At that point, things can fade kinda quick.
Is it normal to go weeks without talking to friends?
