I noticed that earlier i used to give a lot of importance to my friends (they are still very important but now i give more importance to family and work). I used to call them a lot and answered each and every message almost instantly and still never used to get much in return in terms of how much they valued me as a friend. And now i have gradually changed and reply to friends after i have finished my work, or when i am not with my family, or when i am not with some other friend, or when i am not reading a book (that's one thing no one can replace in my life coz i love my books). Now rather than trying to do every thing for everyone i give my 100% to the one who is with me currently (or to myself) rather than talking to someone else on the phone while i am with a friend. But Somehow i feel i am taking it overboard and talk to people very less. I am confused they say i don't give them enough time now, but i feel if that's true how come my phone bill is still way too high, but come to think of it, I agree i am spending very less time keeping up with them over the phone. But maybe it's because i used to spend way too much time on the phone earlier. I just want to ask is it good that i have changed?

I'd say it's good you changed it... If you put all your efford into your friends, but get little to nothing back, it's not all really worth your time. Like if they only call if they need something... Most people (in my environment) just send few text messages and they talk about the rest when they are doing something or are with eachother... There isn't a need to be hanging on the phone for such a long time... And if you do have a lot of things to say, better pass by to that person I'd say. It's quite the same here, if someone I like is at my house, I'm not answering the message instantly, rather wait till that person leaves. Conclusion: Good change in my honest opinion

Friends and family *are* important but you have to look out for yourself first and foremost! It sounds like your friends want you to call them, but there is no reason that they can't call you!
