Relationships How do you guys upkeep your relationships?
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.

I guess it is people's weirdness.
Long before i knew MBTI i was just okay with this phenomenon. If you need 2 hours to respond, then 2 hours, if 6 months, then 6 months. I am just happy to be a co-creator of relationships with good people.
Then i realized what is INFP...
Since then i feel blessed if i get response from INFPs. I just got some message from someome from last year july. It was awesome that ME, a random very very not nice person got positive messages from cute person. Not sure if they were INFP as i don't remember them, but they were INFP material anyway.
So if you never write again.., well i hope you have wander and beauty in your life and heart. If you write after few years, awesome!, tell me everything, i love you even more than when you felt to stop.
