Do you always call friends to meet? Psychologist reveals why friends don't call first
If you are among the group of people who are always initiating get-togethers with your friends while they never remember to do so, you have probably wondered if you are making mistakes somewhere and if these are true friendships.
TL;DR
- Always initiating social gatherings can be confusing and discouraging in friendships.
- People who initiate are often secure, confident, and good at organizing.
- Friends who don't initiate may have existing social networks or suffer from the 'liking gap,' where they underestimate how much others like them.
- The "liking gap" can prevent individuals from initiating plans.
- Valuable friendships are often defined by the quality of time spent together, rather than constant communication.
