I am an ambivert but I find it hard to be friends with "low maintenance" people.

I am someone who loves to converse with their friends, If I like someone it means that I want to chat with them often, not once every two weeks or something like that... I can't really connect with someone if I don't chat with them often.

I have a friend who is an introvert and he told me that his ideal friendship is one that is low maintenance.

In other words, he likes a friendship where you don't chat with or see your friends for months.

That is a nightmare for me... I could never do that to a friend, I'd regard myself as a bad friend if I didn't contact my friends for a month...

We both like comic books, video games, mythology and history so I thought we'd be having fun chats about them.

We do talk about them a bit but not as much as I'd like.

I spoke to him about this and he said that he's someone who likes his space which I understand so he said that he'd message me during the weekend to check up on me which means there are 5 days of the week where he won't message me. That makes me feel lonely as I don't really get messages from any of my other friends.

I don't really like the compromise to be honest, I just tolerate it as I don't want to cause any issues.

As for my other friends, one of them is also an ambivert like me, and the rest are introverts.

I'm almost always the one to initiate contact/hang outs with all of my friends which makes me feel like my relationships with them are one-sided.

Does anyone else feel the same?
