I understand how you feel, 10years. I have a friend and she does the same, I have to wait up to 6 hours or more before she eventually texts back. Its not a nice feeling. But I do understand she does this because she is busy with her school and being alone raising her son. So she texts when she has time at late evening. Sometimes I am sending texts just to tell about something funny or what happened that day which require no answer, but just an acknowledgement....she does the same sometimes, but not as much as me. She usually answer if its important stuff...also sometimes not. I always answer, usually right away because I have time.

Sometimes she forget to texts back. That is not nice, but I can understand that one can forget. Sometimes she doesnt even mention the text, like it never ever got sent, or she will remember it the next day and say sorry.

Because of this I have tried not texting her much as I am tired of not getting a response at all. When one get no response or get it days later or not at all its not very fun to text someone. Even its just telling about something. I do understand thought that people can get tired of answering unimportant texts.

She has admitted she doesnt answer certain people; people she has no wish to be in contact with or people she say she cares about but doesnt bother to text ( I dont get that ). She have said she hates texting.

You probably shouldnt take it too personal even it can hurt. If I were you I would just stop texting and let them take contact if they should want.

I have found out its better to not text and not experience no answer than it is to text and waste time both texting and using money to send the text and not get one answer in return. I feel its best not text at all when you dotn get an answer before 8 hours later. I mean whats the point.

A good friend, in my opinion, will always answer you by the end of the day and will take your calls. And they will call you too.

I have anxiety calling friends I consider good friends, but that is because of my depression. Some people feels easier to call, others are very difficult, specially if its someone I have not talked with for long time or not much at all, but who I still try keep contact with now and then. This one friend has been much better at contacting me. That due to I have not been good at it because of my depression and anxiety.
