I had my brain broken many years ago after getting friend-dumped over this, but I've finally gotten over it: It's 100% totally fine to be the one who initiates contact with a friend most of the time. This goes doubly if you're both neurodivergent. It's OK to be the initiator. Embrace the role.

This is a story from ~15 years ago, and I'm not going to go into the details. Simply take in the sentiment. Appreciate the special and vital role of being the Friend Top.
Im just asking for clarity thats this is what happened, because like... I thought i was the only one this happened to
Yeah, it has happened to me. I am positive that it happens to many people. I don't think it's that uncommon an experience. You are not alone.
AS SOMEONE WHO'S GOTTEN FRIEND DUMPED FOR BEING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THIS. THANK YOU. I LOVE MY FRIENDS BUT I GOT SWISS CHEESE BRAIN I PROBABLY JUST FORGOT I CAN JUST TEXT PEOPLE OR GOT TOO ANXIOUS ABOUT IT LMAO (I'M GETTING BETTER ABOUT IT BUT MY FRIENDS WHO ACT AS PRIMARY INITIATOR TAKE A LOT OF STRESS OFF OF ME AND I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH)
I love this, hope you keep on having wonderful friendships with people who complement your energy ๐๐๐
