For me, it really depends on how long I know my friends. Most of my friends don't live where I am but we've been knowing each other for quite a long time, let's say at least more than 7 years. So even though, we don't see each other very often or we don't contact each other very often, I still regard them as friends. Cause no matter how long we haven't seen each other or how long we haven't talked to each other, we're always very close and 'back to the good ol' days' once we see each other, like with really good friends you never lose that closeness and are always able to catch up in the short time you've got.
Superficial friends, however, come and go and once either of us stops the contact, it gets very hard to catch up after a while and to keep the initial friendship alive.

Essentially, author is making his/her situation worse by not taking a chill pill - I'm nearly certain his worried-ness and overanalyzing is manifested in his/her body language and vibes he gives off in real life. LOL....settle down Alabama, you demonstrate your own point nicely! Don't worry, I'm sure there are those on the forum who'll see you as interlectual. It's merely a question.....relax dude, you'll feel much better Thanks everyone for the replies though.

You yourself have said that your communication with said friends were sporadic. Do you ever think that perhaps they think you're a little slow sometimes too? Yeah...that's the reverse of the situation....I've often wondered if people feel the same about me...so it still makes for an interesting question. And your prataness doesn't deserve such lowlifes. And if they want a place to crash, tell them it's cozier in the park and hand them a switchblade just incase. Because you are such a good friend. Ouch....and all because you're such a good judge of character! It must be nice to instantly know all about a persons situation in just a few lines. Wish I had your powers of perception....must make time in the Ivory Tower pass oh-so-quickly

^ I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but from what you've said they're the type of friends that annoy me, when they need a friend/ conversation they come to you and then when you respond, they've already gotten what they want so they don't bother responding. I don't bother with them either anymore.

Okay, so ignore my first post. I had 0 exp. then. I joined Bebo and the same thing's happening to me. @_@ I'll comment someone but they'll only comment back like 40% of the time. One girl even ignored me completely. And it's not like they didn't see my messages. T_T The thing is though... they're nice in real life. wtf? like me or not?

I always make a effort to get back to my friends as soon as I can, there are times that it takes me a lot longer then usual but I eventually do. In the end if I was to blow someone off it's because I don't think of them as a friend much.

I will admit that I've been blowing off a friend lately. We were closer in the past, but we really don't have very much in common at all. We met through work and used to hang out more, but I feel like she's always in crisis mode and it just feels like a chore to hang out with her because I feel like I can't be my normal, cynical and sarcastic self around her. Plus she is newly single after a failed marriage and wants to go out drinking at meat markets and I'm really not into that scene at all now. I feel guilty about it, but I also know that I have too much on my plate (namely school at the moment) to hold up my end of the friendship.
