Khaberni - At the onset of a new year, many reevaluate their social circles, especially the friendships they once thought were permanent. In this context, a common question surfaces: When does a decrease in communication indicate true cooling off, rather than just temporary busyness?
According to what was reported by the Mirror newspaper from clinical psychologist Dr. Cristy Ferrari, there are clear behavioral signs that may indicate that the other party genuinely does not want to continue the friendship, even if they appear nice on the surface. Ferrari points out that recognizing these signs early helps protect mental balance and avoid unbalanced relationships.
The first of these signs is described as courtesy without commitment; the person seems polite during casual encounters, but this kindness does not turn into real communication or initiatives outside the realm of chance. This is often accompanied by repeated promises of meetings or plans that are never realized.
The second sign is messages that go unanswered. Repeated neglect, according to specialists, is not just an oversight, but reflects a lack of desire for mutual interaction, which is the foundation of any healthy friendship.
A third sign emerges when initiative is absent except when needed. A person who only communicates to request a service or information and does not initiate contact or meetings out of a desire for closeness sends an indirect message about the nature of the relationship.
