Can I ask for some advice if possible?
I've been friends with this one person for roughly a month now. We didn't have any classes together, but we would still talk pretty heartily online. It got to the point where we'd be talking about several different things within the same walls (sometimes battlements) of texts on both ends, so we'd have to block off time to respond to each other if we weren't active at the same time.
Now that it's summer and we've both been out of school, we've both got our own things going on. They're super busy with their job and I've got my own stuff going on, so we're not able to talk as much. Which I completely understand, but then out of the blue, they ghosted me. It's been more than a week and like I said, they're super busy with their job so they're not on their phone as much, and it does take a hot minute to reply. Finding a block of time to reply to each other isn't the easiest thing, especially on their end. Still though. I'm worried that they don't want to talk or be friends anymore, which hurts more than I'd like to admit. Should I reach out and check in every now and then or just leave me them be?
