What if we changed the narrative about this cliché from our friends must not care about us if they don't initiate interactions with us to normalizing normal psychological phenomena? Can you imagine what would happen if everything was foreground in terms of our attention? We would probably go nuts trying to process it all! What if we also considered that "out of mind" does not mean "forgotten." It just means that it is background in the moment. AND what if we all took the responsibility to make ourselves foreground in the lives of people we care about rather than waiting with resentment building for them to make the call?
