How to deal with friends who are too busy to reply an email?

I have a few friends who we were close before (in uni), now we are all working full time, i feel i am the only person who is trying to stay connect with them, I email them sometimes but they don't reply, i know life is busy for all of us but is it too much to ask for a reply of email? what should i do with them? how should i handle this? i don't want to be bitter but its hurting me a little nowHow to deal with friends who are too busy to reply an email?
It is easy to send emails and texts and it isn't too much to ask. But think about it, if you were really close and they wanted to stay in contact they would have replied at least to say something. In fact it sounds very rude to at least not reply.





You can't really do anything about it. Just start again and make more friends. If they were good friends they would have tried to contact you and stay in contact. Otherwise it may be embarrassing for you, if you end up seeing you somewhere just be casual and mention you sent them an email and pretend it was just polite and casual and don't let on you were hurt that they did not reply it saves embarrassment.





You know you sent an email and did the running now forget about it and let them make the next move if they don't reply in a week they probably won't. Then again if they are anything like me they will have hundreds of junk emails a week and yours may have got lost in the mess. Maybe send another one to the one you like the most and if they don't reply again then leave it. If they do reply then you can contact the others through them.

It happens and will carry on to throughout life, but you have made the effort and this makes you a better person. Dont keep pushing, if they dont reply then leave it and maybe just send a quick email for birthdays.
Get new friends, go out round town, get drunk and find a bird. You'll soon forget about them.
Time to move on! that period of your life has gone now, make new friends and just remember those good times! all the best
i am very guilty of this myself i don't get back with my friends right away i feel bad and that doesn't mean i am not thinking of those people i am


i will send out a general e-mail to a few close friends and let them know i am still out there and i am thinking of them.


i will get a where am i e-mail after awhile and i will respond but they don't get mad or do i as long as you are friends time or space should not break that
Sadly, there are times when, quite simply, life moves on. People get new interests, new demands.


I suggest that you only email in future when you have something specific...e.g. invitations to a Birthday, reunion or such.


Not all will stay in touch, but some may do so.
theres a reason why the people from the past don't make it to your future.
