When do you stop reaching out to someone?

I just wanted some insight to my question: How do you know when it is time to stop exerting your energy out on someone?

I'm curious and perhaps need help forming an opinion for myself. Anything is appreciated!

@Mroppy

it can be different per person..... but if they are not responding or brushing you off .... if they change plans or back out ... when you are carrying the whole friendship load then back off ... tell them to connect back if and when they are ready. then if they do not connect good riddance.

@Mroppy in my opinion it's when people ignored me or stop welcoming me as a friend.. that's when I take a step back from that friendship

I recently had to step back from a 12 yr friendship.

What I noticed was, she became Dismissive, Avoidant and just breadcrumbing me.

I knew then, it was time to step back, sent a note to say if she still wanted to be friends, I have left it up to her to reach out. That I will not pursue.
