I totally know how you feel! Unfortunately...Linds!<br /><br />I totally know how you feel! Unfortunately- I agree with Tierney. I am so bad at initiating/planning things and am simply awful at responding to e-mails and messages.I think some people just have a talent for it. It's not that I don't care about the person, it's that sometimes I get so wrapped up in my little life that I hardly come up for air at all. When I do it's so last-minute "hey I have a free morning and I want to play with friends" that I rarely act on the impulse. <br /><br />I'm so sorry that you are having a hard time. I have been too and I think January is hard for everyone. I somehow missed hanging out with you while you were in town and I am so sad:(. <br /><br />I can't imagine anyone not loving your company. You are simply wonderful. We miss you around here and you have been gone for awhile. You see? You totally made your mark on Sunnyvale! So keep your chin up- it's not you it's them.<br /><br />-MegMeghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05750533886675133657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156336926126007691.post-78619820665212682582013-01-27T16:40:46.334-08:002013-01-27T16:40:46.334-08:00sorry you're feeling like this! i hardly look ...sorry you're feeling like this! i hardly look at blogs anymore, but just got your comment and wanted to respond.<br />thanks for the comment! i love when people relate to me..like you said, the 3rd pregnancy was the hardest...and i'm already feeling like i'm going to be able to cherish this third baby more so than my first 2. the first, it was just all so knew and a bit stressful, the 2nd i had postpartum and finally i feel like i know what to expect and can just enjoy! i'm looking forward to it! <br />hope things look up!Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722751914286948105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156336926126007691.post-40235860750900193642013-01-26T20:15:18.630-08:002013-01-26T20:15:18.630-08:00Oh Lindsey, I totally get this!

I think it's important to take that little bit of time to respond to people so they know you care. I have always loved how you are a "doer." You are always arranging things and inviting people. Don't ever stop!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03970358504630532714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156336926126007691.post-84714558447326681242013-01-25T11:48:36.952-08:002013-01-25T11:48:36.952-08:00I love you Linz!

I am really bad at responding and I need to work on it. I will try and be better about posting comments on your blog and stuff!<br />Miss you!Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484947421835820572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156336926126007691.post-17324589187390704682013-01-24T17:22:33.330-08:002013-01-24T17:22:33.330-08:00Lindsey, I totally feel the same way! There are s...Lindsey, I totally feel the same way! There are so many times that I feel like if I wasn't the one trying to keep in contact, most of my friendships would fade away, since very few of my friends actually call/initiate things with me. <br /><br />One thing that helped me some was when one of these friends thanked me for always calling her, and apologized for rarely calling me. She said that some people just have a talent for staying in touch and connecting with people. It still hurts sometimes when she never calls, but it was nice to know that she does care, but thinking about that long distance contact doesn't cross her mind as much.<br /><br />I'm totally with Kim on the email thing; I'll read an email then plan to respond later, then totally forget. Hopefully your friends (including me!) will get better about responding. It sucks to feel like people don't care about you. I've been there many times!Tierney Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18198617545435203250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156336926126007691.post-30665357364196872492013-01-23T10:28:29.338-08:002013-01-23T10:28:29.338-08:00I think you are so brave for writing so openly! I ...I think you are so brave for writing so openly! I can only speak for myself... Obviously :) I have my own social issues and truly am pretty busy with my kids and family. Not to mention we have been sick more these last few months then ever! Those things aside I totally get into funks where I have to force myself to get out. I always love when I do and I think you are one of my friends that really is easy to feel comfortable around, whether its been weeks, months or years. I appreciate that you still ask me to do things, I might not come often, but I never regret when I do! the watkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671582035425663815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156336926126007691.post-78539854716968493072013-01-23T07:23:52.281-08:002013-01-23T07:23:52.281-08:00I'm glad you care about people.

You are a fun and caring lady, don't change that. Looking forward to seeing you soon, just like Kim!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12022214578879132987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156336926126007691.post-80150083465809387402013-01-22T22:00:18.079-08:002013-01-22T22:00:18.079-08:00Aww Linds, it sucks to feel like people don't ...Aww Linds, it sucks to feel like people don't care. Maybe I've gotten used to it:). Sadly. I think I've told you this before but I think part of this is an unfortunate byproduct of Mormonism. It's almost like friends become disposable because it's so easy to make new ones. Seriously, we moved just a couple of miles away and it's felt like we moved a couple hundred miles away. I think the digital age makes it hard, too. I'll get an email on my phone and think, "I should wait to respond with a real email instead of a super brief one on my uncomfortable tiny phone." And then I forget and never do that. The friends I keep in touch with the best are the ones who I talk with on the phone. It just seems more real or something. I've always liked you and hopefully I've responded well enough overall (though I'm not perfect either). Can't wait to see you soon!

Unless you have had a serious personality shift in the last six years than it's not you :) I often think about our long runs and miss having someone to run with (or being able to run at all, if I'm being honest).Courtney @ Ordinary Happily Ever Afterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778746374905378101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156336926126007691.post-21254738485674184382013-01-22T13:11:56.733-08:002013-01-22T13:11:56.733-08:00I love your honesty, Linds.
