Keeping in touch with friends

Sometimes I think that if I didn't contact my friends, I wouldn't ever hear from them again. I go months waiting to see if they'll call and they almost never do. I have 3 "close" friends that I've had for years. They're friends that I know if I ever needed anything they'd be there for me. But why do I always have to be the one making the calls to see how they're doing? Don't they ever think about me and want to call to see what's going on in my life? I know we're all busy, but I still make the effort to keep in touch. Is this normal in a group of friends, to have one initiator, or am I the only one?

well, you always don't have to expect something in return. as long as you make the other person happy and you will be happy as well. if nobody would make the first move, in the long run, all of you will be out of touch. you'll just wake up one day and will be asking, where have they gone? it's normal that in a group, there is one person who's more initiative and aggressive in keeping the whole group intact. just like with my elementary batchmates. we're all grown up, most of us got married and settled down. Other have gone out of the country, and all of us have different circle of friends. we have this Yahoo Group we're we could update with our lives, post latest pictures. through this, we would decide when to meet, just to go out for bonding moments. it's a nice feeling that even if we're busy with our own lives, we know that there are friends out there who really cares and be there when we need them the most. so don't be concerned! ur one of a thoughtful person and you won't go alone in this world...
