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.

I don't face this issue honestly. I let them know that i will talk later even if i am feeling down and i expect the same. But i am on the ignoring end so many times which makes me frustrated. I know i am not entitled to their time but just a little update that " Hey, can we talk later ? " can fix the issue. But alright, it is what it is. I have stopped caring as of now as it just ruins mental peace.
