my friend hasn’t responded to me in almost 2 months. sent a follow up message about a week ago and nothing. we’re not great texters and ik she’s busy, but should i start to be concerned about our relationship?

As someone that’s been on the other side of this she rlly might be busy

Tbh yeah, probably. Unless she’s literally off and away on the moon, she might be trying to drift away I could be wrong. Idk her or your relationship, so if you know better ignore me, but from my perspective it does seem like she might not wanna talk to you

I’d honestly ask if you did anything to offend/ask for better communication if so. I’m not proud to admit it but I was once the ghoster after a friend increasingly started being “my way or the high way” and wouldn’t be willing to have a conversation about how that felt. Not saying it was right of her to ghost (if she’s doing it intentionally ig, you don’t know) but she may feel like it’s the easiest way out of an uncomfortable situation

Once had a friend that I was texting with that stopped responding. I tried a few times (spaced out by months) to plan a meet up. No response. I stopped. I thought it was a ghosting. Ran into them in KC and we chatted a bunch then they looked to see if they still had my number and saw the old texts. They clearly were embarrassed, but life had been busy for them. We now text/meet a few times a year. Just a busy time of life.

Another possibility is she may have accidentally not responded for some time, say a week from being busy from work. She may have realized that she was absent for a while, but been too anxious to text explaining, and of course avoidance just makes texting again harder as time goes on

it’s just confusing bc she reached out first. i was responding to her text.

sometimes im just busy/depressed and don’t want to accidentally send the message that I’m able to talk regularly when I’m not 😭 I don’t experience the feeling of friendship decay, so I always consider my friendships “in stasis” unless there’s some indication otherwise
