PSA to folks who're afraid of reaching out to a friend because you think they're too busy with their life and might think you're a nuisance for bothering them 

You're not alone, and the person you're convinced is too popular and cool to want to spend time with you might very well be assuming the same of you.

Source: I got to know most of my best friends only after overcoming this hurdle of mutually assumed disinterest.

@mawr I have one friend in particular for whom I *repeatedly* have to overcome this mental hurdle.

I don't think she's assuming the same of me, though; she just experiences time differently, and might not notice that a couple of years have passed since we last interacted.
