i have only a single friend in my life that texted or called me or tried to get anything going first
if i stopped initiating interactions with everyone i know right now we would literally never speak again

this is not normal but there is also probably nothing you can do to change it

It’s normal. Especially between male friends. Male friends can stop talking for months, years, even entire decades and when they talk again no one is upset, offended, or has forgotten. They pick up where they left off.

The only people who keep the score of who reaches out to who first are women.

>is this normal.
It for you.

Are you a guy? Then yes.
Are you a woman? Then no.
>am i autistic
If you're a guy then probably. Men don't worry about piddly shit like this.

It's normal. As my best friend's dad put it (BF's dad was great at funny rants) there are 2 kinds of people - the ones on the blower (boomer slang for telephone) making plans and the ones answering the phone. He told me this in the 80s, talking about his on experience in the 50s.

It's probably gotten worse now that everyone is happy to just sit glued to their smartphone all night.

If male, normal
If female, not normal, you're probably just a filler friend
