Sometimes people do step up if I go quiet, but if that's what it takes I don't want to be bothered. That's not a real friendship.

Many years ago I thought I was keeping in touch with former co-workers, BUT unless I called them, I never talked to them. They never called ME. After awhile I stopped calling, and I never heard from them. Good riddance. In hindsight, it was the right call.
