I'm really sick of having friends who don't care. One of my best friends, or former best friend, doesn't even call me. And whenever I try to contact her she says "oh I have to go!". One time I brought this up, the fact that she never calls me or contacts me - it's always ME contacting HER. Like I'm doing all the legwork in this friendship. Her response? "Well, I've been busy."

Too busy to make a five minute phone call? Too busy to say "hi Erin!" when you're on instant messenger? I seriously doubt it. Also, her away messages are like "i'm out with my crew at the bar!"....she obviously has time for THEM.

I have another friend who just got married and she doesn't contact me anymore. I get that you're now married, but so what? Does that mean you leave your friends in the dust? Last night I saw she was online, and tried to talk to her. She said she couldn't talk, but didn't sign off or anything. I don't know, I just feel like the people I thought were my friends just don't care about keeping up our friendship.

However, I do have a few friends who still contact me through letters and at least try and stay in touch. I know those people are my true friends.

....god, that sounded so high school-ish!
