Re: Help with Social Anxiety Friend

I'd message them like you usually do with a brief "catching up" message, wishing them well, etc. You might include a note to say that if this is unwelcome, then you're fine with giving them space and letting them contact you first, otherwise you'll keep with the weekly (or whatever timing you decide) updates. Just to make sure they don't feel pressured to respond, don't ask any questions. So it'd be "Hope you're doing well" vs. "How are you doing?"

But seriously, when your friend decides to pick up communications again, ask them how they'd like you to handle this in the future. And while this sounds harsh, maybe try to direct some of your friendship-making energies elsewhere. I'm not saying drop this person like a hot potato. But a friend who doesn't see any problems ghosting you without warning isn't really a friend you can rely upon emotionally, so don't forget to build up your social network with people who can be more present in your life for when YOU need the support.

Thanks for the advice! I do have other friends to rely on emotionally, but thanks again for the concern!
