    I'm friends with this guy. I thought that we were good friends and that he cared about me. He definitely showed it when we were up at school.
    But we've been on break for 2 weeks and I see that he's keeping in touch and communicating on social networks with other people from our school, but not me.
    We texted for a little last week, but he stopped responding to me, so I'm scared to text him because I'm scared that he won't respond.

    Should I take that he's keeping in touch with other people in school but not me personally? We are just friends, nothing more. I just thought that he cared about me.

    I`m sorry, I have had so many disappointments recently coming from friends and family whom I thought I had a connection with, but who weren`t responsive to my overtures.

    I moved, and quit drinking, and changed careers, and my friends are suddenly gone. Though, I`ve regained a few I had lost contact with.

    Either way, my attitude won`t change. I`ll take one step forward toward someone I`m interested in. But, I`ll only take another step until that person also takes a step of his or her own and meets me halfway.

    I`m absolutely adamant about reciprocity, and I can do bad all by myself.

    did he ignore multiple texts, or just not respond to a text that didn't really elicit a response? when i'm texting with someone, i like to keep the conversation as short as possible, so if the conversation is winding down and they say something that doesn't require a response, i don't send one.

    is he initiating conversation with the other people, or just responding to things they said to him?

    friendship is not a competition. just because he's talking to certain friends and not others does not necessarily mean he cares more about the ones he's talking to at the moment.

    if you're really concerned, the only thing you can really do is try talking to him. if he doesn't respond, he doesn't respond. nothing to be scared about.

    I'm not sure what the good advice is, but I hope that this all works out

    He is the one that is initiating communication to his friends. And he could have responded to the text that I sent him last week. I thanked him for helping me with a project.
