Communication is what has helped us humans adapt and survive to the crazy conditions the world throws at us. From major weather disasters to huge political upsurges, we have been able to push through it all. But I'm not hear to bore you on the basis of such topics. I'm here to speak my mind of the topic of communication between personal friends and acquaintances.
Everybody has close friends and people that they know through their friends who they don't consider as their friends. Those people, we don't necessarily reach out to them. However, when we do, it is usually a pleasant conversation. Although, they never want to reach us back first. Does that mean that we shouldn't want to reach out to them anymore? If they don't want to take the time out to see how you're doing like you did to them, why should they be worth your time?
This has happened to me many many times and still happens today. I reach out to people first all the time. I'm always the one to start a conversation and I take heavy interest in their lives and their well being. Why isn't it the same towards me? Am I uninteresting? Do they think I'm always doing well?
I do put on the attitude that I'm always doing well. I usually have a smile on my face and an upbeat attitude. But underneath, like everyone else, I want to feel appreciated by having people come out to me and see how I'm doing. I don't always want to be the one reaching out first.
Now this isn't a cry for pity and sympathy. I don't want that. I'm more concerned with if I should even reach out to people who don't want to reach out to me in return. I don't have to go out of my way to see how you're doing. I could be worrying about more important things. Just food for thought and seeing how y'all think about reaching out to people who don't reach out to you.
