I know I tend to be so aloof and detached that some habits of mine are hard to pick up, so I'll say a few plainly here.
If I try to hug you (or am any level of affectionate) or say hello and am somewhat assertive about it, this means two things: one, I have a strong affinity for you, for whatever myriad of reasons, and, two, I am not alright.
I'm terrible at keeping up with people and likely will not unless you are big in my life (there's a reason I tend to form my friendships based on the other person's assertiveness), we all know this.
So if I am contacting you at all (outside of setting up a hanging out date), this means something.

This post isn’t intended for me. But it resonates on so many levels.
“aloof and detached”. “terrible at keeping up with people.” “friendships based on the other person's assertiveness.”
No advice. Just this wish. Romeo says in Act 1 Scene 4 of Romeo And Juliet. “But He, that hath the steerage of my course, Direct my sail!” May it be so for you, I, and all who founder their way through relationships.
