| What if they're former work colleagues but you still consider them kind of friends, and you just want to see how they're doing is that okay? |

| If I haven’t texted them since last year, how would I begin the text without sounding nosy and make it into a conversation that can flow very easily? |

| And a lot of people tell me to stop texting because apparently I text too much. How do I overcome this situation while texting but not too much. And with my autism, texting is a lot easier for me which I do it. |

| I mean you text them first to start the conversation even though they haven’t messaged you in over a year and you’re the one that start the conversation first. And it’s hard to see if they want to meet or do anything when you have agoraphobia |
