A lot of people tell me they miss me without making any effort to connect with me in any way. I am not at LW's Ex-Friend's point--I haven't decided to just drop them all. But I think Carolyn is underestimating how frustrating it can be to hear "I miss you" over and over again from people who think it means "you should do more, but I definitely will not do anything." A sarcastic "oh, I can tell" looks pretty understandable to me, and I would not be up for being lectured about how I should do more by someone who was doing nothing, I would turn and talk to someone else as well.
