Do anyone of you find it difficult, or more work, to keep in touch with friends that arent in close proximity?

(One aspect could be that your friends dont really use technology to the fullest to keep in touch)

I'm pretty bad at keeping in touch with others. Unless the other person makes the effort (text, FB, etc), then most likely I won't. I don't really like that, but it's just kind of the way I am. Forgetful and not the most thoughtful.

This. I'm exactly the same way. Its not that I don't care about them, far from it. Its just that I forget most of the time and find it not needed. I'm also still pretty shy about calling people but just a little.

I have a motto when it comes to this kind of stuff lol. I'll make the initial effort and will be the one to contact the person for plans the first few times, after that if they don't start putting out mutual effort then I kinda give up. It's sorta discouraging when you make all the effort and people can't seem to bother to do anything.

Even if people like Suzy were my best friends we wouldn't stay in contact because I usually get sick of always being the one trying. It takes two to tango! (Note I'm not criticising you at all :))

Most of the time, I don't even try. I don't communicate unless they text me.

If I czn text or FB them with some sort of ease then generally I am OK at keeping in touch. The only thing I am ever 100% guaranteed to reply to is a letter.

Most of my 'Forn' friends know this. I get letters once or twice a month from America, Australia and Poland.

I am really bad at this. Keeping in touch is not something I do very well. I do not use technology to it's fullest. I don't use facebook or the like.

Me and my old school friends basically never talk anymore except when we all come home from uni during the holidays, but it doesn't seem to effect our friendship in any way, it just means we have more to catch up on :)

I do with a few people who are worth my time. I tried keeping in touch with a lot of people at point and it just became overwhelming... I ended up losing touch anyway. I have about 6 or so friends who I keep in touch with. Then I have relatives from other countries; it's hard to keep up with them too.

Yep, that sums me up, on top of that I get a little discouraged when I do remember because it feels awkward to me for being out of contact and wondering what to say and how to explain the lack of correspondance without feeling or appearing like a thoughtless ****.

when i was in grade 8 my friends and i used to talk about how we would keep in touch once we went to high school, but i was the only one that went to a different high school while the rest went to the same one, when we got to high school we did make the effort to talk to each other but eventually we all split apart, because i could not bother always being the person that made the effort,

I'm pretty bad at it, not because of lack of effort but because there is a point in which you'll pick up the phone dial the number and you hesitate to call because you don't know what to talk about. While it's true that a friendship should last no matter the distance, it's just not the same thing as living with the person everyday.

Yeah it's really hard, it's really all about convenience, so I don't keep in touch with any of my former highschool friends anymore. My gf lives 2-3 hours away (much much farther than my friends do) but I still try my best to keep in touch with her

I try my best to keep the connections and once in a while I try to put some effort to see them in person. :)

Now, seriuosly, at first I misinterpreted your thread here TC.

If you wanted to know how good I was in keeping in TOUCH, oh yes I am really good.:oops:

It's hard to keep in touch unless we both make an efffort, cause I can be like hey, you wanna hang out, and then we gotta find a day, then when that day comes, other things come up, blah blah.

And for me, I just sometimes get lazy, and people are always like hey, call me and let's hang out, and I just forget, I mean I can think of it right now, but when the time comes I just never think to say hey let's hang out, and when I do, it's my close friends that we hang out anyways.

Yea, it's hard, it's so easy when you see them almost everyday, but after you go on to college, or they aren't in the same class as you, it gets so hard sometimes.
