B2Y, I know exactly what you mean. I have a friend who is single and lives out of state. She calls me every night and two to three times a day on week ends. It is too much responsibility. I have other things I want to do.

I call my mother once a week. She always tells me that she looks forward to my phone calls and they make her day. I could call her more often. My long distance calls are free so money is not an excuse. I don't call her more often because I do not want to be bothered.

I have an Aunt who also lives out of state. She has asked me to send her my phone number many times. I do not send it because I do not want her to call me. Receiving phone calls annoys me.

I though I felt this way because I might be depressed. I'm glad to hear other people feel the same. Maybe it is the weather.
