Do you have any fraying friendships?

I have about 50 or so contacts and you'd be able to delete all but 5 of them and not make much difference. I just like to keep a normal human being level of contacts in my phone just in case somebody sees the list and wonders. Heck, I still have the phone number of my highschool crush and I haven't talked with her in 16 years XD

I'm going to be completely honest. My phone has about 6 contacts in it since I replaced my phone. My friends all use FB messenger or Line. Because of what I do and what I got myself into a lot of my friends move around a lot. :) I do have MANY friends, and naturally it's hard to keep up with many friends. Despite that, I keep the right amount of contact with them. Sometimes being an insomniac has it's perks because many of my friends live in Japan and England. (They can help with my backup plan if Trump ever becomes president.) All of them are awesome but of course the closest ones are the best buddies that hang out with me regularly, pretty much whatever it is I just have to ask. Sometimes it's not about how much time you spend, it's just checking in and making sure the other person is okay. Distance is a problem for some people, but my friends really understand we can't all check in all the time, and we're all super busy. It's great when we do get a chance to hang out, though. It's just like we've been close the entire time. I forgot to add: Because of this, it's pretty much about the other person's mindset. If they want phone calls every day and hanging out every week then it's on them because they knew what they were dealing with going in.

I guess this applies, but I've encountered people in person who stopped replying to my messages, and they were really dismissive towards me (body language, general uncaring tone). I try to keep in contact, but not everyone returns the favor. I guess you could delete a lot of them.

Friendships usually die after awhile for me. The longest friendship I had was with my childhood friend and still going. It's been 12 years now. He wasn't my first friend but he's always the last one there especially when I'm in need. I've learned to be wise because of him. In my contacts, I have family (I count childhood friend as family), instructors from college, and these few "friends". I hardly speak to them though. Most of the time they say they are busy but I normally call bullshit on that since I know a lot about them and know their personality pretty well. Ever since they got themselves a BF/GF, I pretty much don't exist or hardly exist anymore. Once their significant other are absent or their life becomes dull, I suddenly exist again but only for a short period. My childhood friend never done that, even having a GF and a job. My childhood friend has been the real friend. He'll eventually part ways but that doesn't bother me anymore. Since then, I sort of became somewhat an asshole. I just don't really give a shit who goes or stays anymore. I used to rely on having company to cope with loneliness but I realized that if I can't handle being alone then what I'll do if the next person vanishes again? Now that I spent time alone and became pretty apathetic over time, having company is no longer that sort of necessity for me. It's nice to have company but it's also nice to have time alone to improve myself which I have. If these friends stop contacting me, I won't be bothered by it. If that's what they want, so be it.
