Struggling to Keep in Touch with Friends

2 questions for my fellow ADHD people: 1. what's the term for when you just have complete lack of remembering to message people 1st or message back and go months without talking to people? 2. followup of 1: does anyone else do this and then end up with no friends because of it?

I'm really lucky I found friends that put up with me but I just say I died, it's my form of just entering another realm of my mind, I wont say a word for weeks and then poof, I return like nothing happend. Also make little notes, but somewhere important, somewhere you look often, though not something you see everyday, just something where a bright pink sticky note would stand out, it's works for me since if I see anything bright I walk over to it, or set phone reminders with weird notification sounds, that's always fun

All the time but what I do is when I start to get close to people I let them know that I have ADHD so they know I am not just ignoring them and they will also know that after a few day try to message me again and that's how I have maintained close friendships
