During covid lockdown I made a list of every friend I still had a phone number for. I called someone for a chat once every few days. I called about fifty people and most conversations went for 2-3 hours. We had a great catch up. Zero of those people have initiated a return phone call.

OTOH I caught up with friends from an old gaming club and the new club has a bunch of people I used to know. They're not going to reach out, but there's an event fortnightly that I"m welcome to.

I had some other friends that I distanced myself from as they were all getting into meth. I don't mind a loose party but meth is a step too far in my books.
