Recently a close friend showed concern about how I was doing, not that they had a concern, but it was more an “exploratory” question. That person has legitimate ground for concern for me, though my concern is that they showed that concern to me very sparingly, and almost always only in person.
Their show of concern, or care or even interest, for / in me was rarely communicated through other persons or means when given the relationship, we are not that distant to each other.
Over time this has also made me question my ground for this relationship. Rarely do I go pass a day without reflecting on past conversations and encounters with them. I do wish there is some kind of “improvement” to this situation, but I also feel that what has gone so far should remain – any changes that is well meant might go horribly wrong.
