I saw someone yesterday that I hadn't seen in two years. Personally, I don't think we were that friendly so I was a little more formal that normally would be. He completely called me out and seemed a little hurt - that I apparently acted like we were strangers. Though honestly I think he was a little exaggerating...
I have had people comment on this before. I simply can't remember where I am on the relationship spectrum if I don't see you daily.
I mentioned this to a friend and she laughed because she said the same thing. We both tend to revert to more formality if we are unsure of where we are on the spectrum.
While most people we know seem to over do the familiarity.
Anyone else?
