Do you usually wait for your friends to initiate plans?
Many people complain about always being an initiator in friendships, but I want to hear from the people on the other side. Are you someone who has friends and likes to do social things, but usually waits for your other friend to initiate? Would love to hear from that perspective.
When you think of friendship in your life is it a bit lower on the totem pole of importance hence why you don’t have the need of always connecting and planning the next thing? Or do you have a few friends you reach out to, but the rest of them you wait to plan on your behalf? Maybe you just have more important friends and the ones who initiate all the time are not your priority?
For context, I think being the initiator has become a bad thing, but in reality I think these people just have a higher social need and if anything a “gift” of bringing the community together. I think it’s a good thing rather than a flaw. However, since I do have such high social needs, I’m curious to hear the mindset of people who don’t initiate as much.
