Does anyone else feel like they put more effort into keeping in touch with people than they receive back?

I noticed that if I stop texting first, some conversations just die. No follow up, nothing.I don't think people do it on purpose. Some people are just initiators, and some are responders.But it made me wonder how many of my friendships are actually mutual vs ones I'm carrying on my own.I pulled back once just to see what would happen. The silence was pretty eye opening.

Are you an initiator or a responder? And has anyone else done the pull back test to see who reaches out?

Like, I'm genuinely funny and loud with my close friends. But with coworkers I'm quiet and professional. With my parents I'm completely different again. And with strangers I somehow become the most polite human alive.It's not fake or forced it just happens automatically. I think they're all real versions of me, but it's a weird feeling when you notice it happening.

Does anyone else experience this? Which version of yourself do you think is the real you?

I’ll discover a new song that I instantly love like, goosebumps good. But instead of playing it on repeat, my brain goes, save this. This is a sunset-on-a-roadtrip song, not a normal day song.

So I add it to a playlist called for later and then I never actually listen to it because the right moment never comes.

A month later I’ve forgotten it existed.

Does anybody else do this weird mental delay with music, or am I just hoarding future happiness for no reason?
