Thank you for this interesting viewpoint, Nancie. I think there is something to say about our different personalities and how they impact the kind of friendships we seek or maintain. I'm a huge recovering people pleaser so I won't often share things about myself with another person unless they ask me and seem interested and sincere, because I don't want to be a burden. That often leads to me asking questions and listening and affirming the other person, which is not a problem, if there is some reciprocity. If there isn't, I get resentful, which is normal I think, but I also know that I need to learn how to put myself out there with a person without waiting for a specific, recurring invitation.
