How often should I talk to someone without coming off as needy? I don't have many friends so when I see someone show the slightest amount of interest in me, I become too attached because I don't want to lose them. I may message them everyday...and then they leave me on read and I lose them. Or talk to them everyday and then they become bored of me. What should I do?? enlightened

@00o00 i'd say try to avoid small talk and saying stuff like "how are you" because convs usually get boring really quick, try to make jokes with them or talk about interesting things, or discuss relevant topics. but any friend who doesn't put as much effort into a friendship as you do, is not worth your time. maybe try to talk about something you both have in common or are both passionate about to get them interested

@00o00 a very significant dilemma we all face as new gen youngsters with tech gadgets. I might ask of you to consider making more face-to-face connections as they could leave you with more self-satisfaction and deeper understanding about your friendships. Plus it is not really necessary according to me for staying in touch on a daily basis, for instance, i speak with my best friend once a month for about an hour on call( he lives far away). In the end its all about finding that few people who will stick with you no matter what. :) All the best!
