Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship
#3 - The Friend Who Never Initiates Contact with Pam Moore
27 Jul 2021
Are you the friend who calls or texts first and reaches out for plans, or do you let your friends reach out first? In this episode my guest, Pam Moore, and I answer a letter from someone who is tired of making all the effort to get in touch or instigate plans. And as it turns out, some of the most popular internet searches leading to my website is the phrase, "My friend never initiates contact," "My friend never texts first," "My friend never makes plans first," "Why do I always have to initiate plans first?" So obviously there are plenty of people out there feeling insecure about being the ones who initiate contact first and it makes them question whether the friendship is real or one worth continuing to pursue if it’s a newer friend. Pam and I spoke about what it's like when you're the friend who always initiates contact, or when you’re the friend who lets other people reach out first.Pam Moore is an occupational therapist-turned-intuitive eating coach and health and fitness journalist.
