We all have busy lives... or so we would like to think. I've heard numerous times from a friend that they were too busy to hang out with me or too busy to acknowledge my existence. The only problem... nobody is busy 24/7 365 days a year.
People who are that busy obviously have no time to eat, no time to sleep, no time to go to the bathroom, no time to have any non-work conversations, etc. All it takes is one minute to text or call someone. And if you are one of those people who doesn't like using their phones, then it's best to make time to see people in person. You can always make time for people you care about.
Personally, I have heard the "I'm busy" excuse way too many times. I have not seen or heard from friends in months and even years (I'm not kidding) because they say they have been too busy to respond to me. I realize that means they probably don't want me in their life but instead of me having to take the hint, why can't they just come out and say it to me instead of me thinking I did something wrong. All it takes is a simple conversation to clear things up.
There are also those friends that claim they're busy and then post photos hanging out with other friends on social media. I'm not hurt I wasn't invited, I'm hurt because you had the audacity to lie to me again making me think I did something wrong. And if I did do something wrong, then tell me. We are all adults now. Stop acting so childish.
Yes, our lives do get busy from time to time. I don't expect to see my friends all the time, but when it comes to months and even longer with absolutely no communication, then I know something is definitely wrong. If you're someone who is always (and I mean always) too busy to talk to people, you may want to re-evaluate what you do with your time.
