Despite being an Introvert, past few months I've tried to open up and talk to people. It still gets awkward often but I'm getting the hold of it. I did make some great friends.
But I realised, I've some 150 contacts on my phone (friends & family) and I regularly talk to only 15 maybe. Not even my sibling in the top 15. My point is, at different points in life (work, location, etc.) you make many friends and relationships.
And I put a lot of effort & time, this time. Like lot of hanging out, texts etc. and then life changes and you leave the city or your friends change their jobs…and then you can't keep up the same way as before. It fades out eventually.
Is it worth it? Is all the attention and time nurturing any relationship, worth it? My utilitarian mind still unable to understand it.
