One way friendships

I feel like I've deleloped a number of friendships that have become weakened over the months to the point where it feels like the friendship has become one way. For example, you find yourself being the only one making the effort to continue the friendship, you find that you are always the one contacting them in whatever form, be it on the phone or on msn, you begin to get the impression that if you didn't make the effort then the friendship will just fizzle out and die. There are a couple of people I feel this about and have done for a while. I am bored of making the gestures, I am bored of being the one to initiate contact. A friendship is a two way thing and it's so important to make your friend feel special to you, by talking to them, by letting them know you actually mean something to them.

From this point on, those people who give nothing back to me, I am no longer going to try with you. It is sad for me to think about because we had a closer bond at one point and time slowly changes things if you let it. I can't continually feel as though I'm the only person who values the friendship, it's not fair on me. So if you think this post is about you, the ball is firmly now in your court, I would love to remain your friend however I wont come to you anymore, if you don't wish to remain friends with me then just carry on.

And one final point. If you recognise that it is you who I am talking about, maybe you should have a think about the way you are with people.

That is all.
