One other thing, if I can’t respond to a text right away, I ask Siri or Google to remind me in a few hours to text that person back

Also I add reminders on my calendar to text my friends who live further away very few weeks to catch up. Also, I respond to texts as soon as I read them. Otherwise I will never remember to responded

I have gone as far as making a list of my friends. When I am bored I look at the list and pick one to reach out to.
