ALSO - calling to "catch up" is so *barf*.... you know what's sexy? Writing LETTERS. If your friend has a lot to say and maybe you don't, they can write it all out to you. You can read it at your leisure, and then you can reply WHEN you want to and how succinctly or elaborately you prefer. Letters were the original Marco Polo (another great option for that friend that insists on catching up). I started handwriting letters again last year and it's also very comforting to pick out stickers you like, spray it with perfume, etc etc.... highly recommend.

Fact: I literally stopped an entire friendship with someone because she insisted on weekly phone calls just to catch up. So that's always an option too.

I love this idea! Maybe they will also realize that they talk about the exact same thing every single time? Wishful thinking 😂

We can only hope!! But, how interesting that would be more obvious through writing than by speech!
