Sooner or later either they stop responding to my summoning or I stop summoning them thinking I'm bothering them too much ...
I feel this as well. If I don't initiate anything, the friendship will die down since everyone else is "silent" and busy with their life. If I ask too much, I fear that I'm needy and might bother others.
For real. And then there is also the classic 'their lives are probably a bit better without my crappy presence in it, so it's only moral to leave them alone'.
