If LTK is like me, I'm guessing making plans to hang out or communicating can be difficult or outright forgotten for long whiles. Edit: Yus, seems we struggle with the same things.

Thanks, I've been told this before by other people and I used to believe it. This is one of the longest mood ruts I've been in and that's affecting a lot of my thought processes. I'm having better moments where I can reassure myself more often though.

The thing is, people don't want friends who can write an encyclopedia entry on their life. They want friends whose company they enjoy when they have it (even if that's only once every five years - I have some friends who fall into that category and I love them dearly).
Welu:
That's a point I hadn't though of, at least not in relation to my post. Now that I've thought about it, not including online friends I'm yet to meet, I haven't seen most of my closest friends in person in about half a year. I still message them on Facebook or call them once in a while and we always make plans to hang out when it's an option. Just life means we don't see each other often, and also three of them live in England.
The context is I had no idea what to get someone for a birthday present but I found something I'm sure they'll like anyway.
Barmymoo:
I always struggle with presents, even for people I have known for years and years and think I know a lot about. Unless someone has a really obvious interest that lends itself well to gifts (I have a friend who collects those fluffy blobs with googly eyes and sticky ribbons on the base, I think they're called gonks) then it is always tricky.
My closest friends are people I haven't seen for months, or only see occasionally. One I have seen quite a bit lately as I'm a bridesmaid for her wedding this summer, but prior to that it was probably at least a year between us meeting up each time. Another I see a couple of times a year mostly because he is a touring musician and makes the effort to drop in whenever he's roughly near me. A third I haven't seen in over a year and probably longer; the last time I know I saw her was two and a half years ago but I am sure I've seen her since then, at least once.
Welu:
People struggling to get me things is partially why I've started collecting fridge magnets and little figures. They're affordable small things that are easy to find but can still be personal and sentimental. Also I love that I have a stupidly expensive unit and I don't own anything fancy enough to put in it so it's full of RASSLIN action figures and Christmas ornaments my partner got from work.
