After decades of the telephone being my main work tool and the channel where costumers on the regular behaved like they owned the place, i have developed a intense aversion of even looking at my phone, and anxiety regarding contacting people. That means i suck very much at initiating contact and keeping conversations going.
That doesn’t mean i don’t think about people i consider important to me - quite contrary, the harder it is for me to reach out, the more i think about the respective person.
So even if you are normally the one initiating contact, don’t think you are unimportant to others when they fail at reaching out.
