Have you ever tried this social experiment?

One day you realize that you're the only one who calls, invites, writes or initiates contact with someone. You've been a friends for years - but you've done all the work. All the organizing and inviting and planning.

You've just realized, "Hey that person never calls me."

You want to try an experiment. You want to see how long it will be before they contact you. So you stop all inviting, emailing, talking and communicating.

A couple days pass. You haven't' heard anything. No big deal. Only a couple days.

A couple weeks pass. Hey what's up??! What's wrong? Maybe you should contact them after all - something could have happened. Maybe they're very sick, dying, in the hospital. No, stay strong.

A couple months pass. You're angry now. Does your companionship mean nothing? NO WAY are you going to contact them again.

More time passes. You never hear from or see the person again.
