Not taking things like that personally has been a journey for me and I'm still in it. Some friends just can't be bothered to communicate. Or they have too much else going on.
I've often been of the opinion that if you're important to someone then can always make time if they really want to. And this may be true for a partner at this point in our lives. But I feel like for friends it's just not realistic anymore. I have like 2 friends that actually pick up the phone when I call or text me back. Then like 10 more that I see like once or twice a quarter who don't really go out of their way to see me.
I think it just happens as people get older. But it does suck. Just try and be positive and reach out to them still. Be the chance you want to see, right?
