Some of us tend to be wrapped in our own world with our jobs
and rather busy schedules that we tend to forget our family and true friends. No
calls. No text messages. Nothing. We leave all that for them to do because we
are too busy to. It is only sensible and mature to try to create time for your
loved ones despite what you might be going through.
Individual A: He loves his family and close friends but
scarcely has the time to reach out to them because he is wrapped up in this
time and energy consuming project. However, when they call, text or ping him,
he would reply. But he won’t do that first though because he is too busy to. If
they don’t, then oh well! He may not reply your message in two days. And when
he does, he acts like you didn’t send him any message at all. You should know
he is a very busy person.

| Yeah, you look cool in your suit and all. Be civil while at it |
Lily to Individual A: Good day sir. I understand your
situation. You are a very hard working person. Can you devote 10 minutes out of
24 hours to talk with your family. Not every day of course but maybe once a
week. When you are in the rest room doing your business, could you reply your
pings and return last year’s Xmas greetings? Could you apologise for not being
in touch for a while? We understand you are busy. Be civil while at it. Stop
making your family and friends feel they are disturbing you each time they want
to make a call or send you a message to just to know how you are fairing.
