This might be a bit broad but I often find myself in situations where people just don’t respond for a very long time, or respond in a very random way.
I feel very bad because of this, I think it is disrespectful and hurtful and a bit of a power play, but on the other hand it seems to be extremely prevalent.
I don’t know what to do about it.
It is kind of like passive aggression because you never know for sure if it was intentional or not.

I would just make sure you’re communicating in an open ended way that will make it easier for someone to respond. And don’t take it personally, they likely have things they’re doing.
I don’t like it. It feels like work rather than genuine or (maybe?) unadultered friendship.
