checking in with friends

why does it matter? people have different feelings about who is a "friend" or "acquaintance". Whatever the experience, let people define the term "friend" for themselves. What's friend to one person is acquaintance to another, and vice versa.
You are right. Words have no meaning.
 
How good are you at checking in with friends? Do you do it often? If you are not in touch, do you think it makes a difference when major life events happen? Or do you think no matter how apart or out of touch, you'll still be aware and available? Do you ever feel guilty about not checking in when something happens to a friend?

I am terrible at keeping in contact with people...and I feel guilty about it. But I know my true friends understand that we're both busy, and that if there was something major that happened, or if they needed me, I would drop everything instantly and be there for them.

I find just small talk/checking in to be overwhelming. I'm not interesting enough!
