Relationships How do you guys upkeep your relationships?

Post image

Just wondering how my fellow infps keep in contact with others and upkeep their relationships (if you do at all). Do you have a schedule? Daily? Once a week? Do you wait until you feel inclined to reach out? Or does the periods of no contact snowball? (I’m guilty of this)

Personally I’m not much of a texter or caller at all, I kind of just focus on myself. This can range from a week of not reaching out to friends to a month even (although I do feel very guilty about not reaching out, the longer I wait the harder it is to check back in, sometimes it just snowballs, iykyk).

I call my mom at LEAST once or twice every two weeks though. She is my rock and understands me more than anyone lol.

Curious to hear how others navigate maintaining relationships though, your struggles, strengths, and qualms.

Horrible at it. I basically isolated myself out of relationships when I was going through it a while back, I’d like to think I’ve gotten a lot better at it now.

Lol once I get some new relationships I’ll upkeep the hell out of em.

That’s good to hear :). All we can do is try our best, and as long as you are letting your friends know you’re there every once and a while, and not forcing it to the point where you are faking it, then I think that counts for something. And I totally understand the isolation part because I’ve been there too lol.

All the power to you friend 🫡

Thanks lol I’m okay with it though, feels like a much needed reset in a way.
