      My mom guilts me over not maintaining a better relationship with my brother, but he will never ever call or text first, despite the fact we used to be really close.

      She wants us to have that again, but we are both adults now and my duty of looking out for my kid brother is done. He can make his own choices and I’m always happy to talk to him.

      Depends on the person, I think. I hate my phone, and keep it as a requirement to stay connected in a modern world.

      The knock-on effect of that is that I’m constantly overdrawn, and have little energy for the ppl who reach out to me, nvm the ppl I’m now supposed to reach out to.

      Just my experience but I don’t think totally invalid
