Your Friends Want You to Call Them More, New Study Finds—Here's How to Strengthen Communication in Your Friendships
"Society places a lot more emphasis on romantic partners providing those emotional needs for us versus our friends, so it's not thought of as something a lot of us can ask for," he says.especially if it's a long-term friend. However, it does not feel normal to put the work into a friendship that you would put into other types of relationships.
"We just get stuck in our habits, and it can become more difficult to engage in new behaviors," he says. "It takes effort to do this sort of stuff and a lot of people struggle to really put in the effort of maintaining friendships or struggle with what it really means to be in deep, loving relationship with other people."If you want a friend to call more, or want them to be more available when you call, there is pretty much only one way to communicate that: ask.
An in-person conversation or even a phone all would be best, he says:"I don't think asking for these things over text is going to be the most effective." Even if you feel awkward or nervous about it, remember that they will likely be more appreciative that you called than you think.
