I'm often worried that I'm coming across too needy or bothersome whenever I'm reaching out, especially since people have much more going on in their lives than just friendships. Yeah it's difficult as adults ☹️

Well, when you reach out, are you in need of something? Sometimes it's just and being like, "what up, fool," or sending a meme that reminds of them or whatever. If you're only ever reaching out because ultimately you want attention, time, etc, maybe that comes off as needy (though I think that's ok too!), but sometimes reaching out is just, like, "hey, thought of you, I don't need anything!"
