I have to admit I don’t have patience with maintaining friendships with people I don’t see on a regular basis. I’ve been always this way, I had people get upset with me over it but I just don’t have it in me. If I can’t see people (not talking about family) I have hard time keeping up friendship. I do keep in touch with college friend and two childhood friends, those are life long connections and we live very far to see each other but other than that if I don’t see people, I just don’t have it in me to keep up.
For me few weeks of not talking to someone I am only friends with online would be nothing. I’d say it’s very frequent communication. Do you know this person in real life? If not, I’d say this is way more often than I’d even hope to talk to people. What’s your definition of friendship? Could it be that other people don’t have the same definition of it?
