I haven’t spoken to my bsf for a week. He forgot my birthday and I even had to remind him 2 days later before he was like “happy late birthday😅”. I never responded and he hasn’t texted. Should mention he’s autistic, but should I text him?

He’s your bsf, so yeah I should think you’d text him. Not sure I understand your question? Texting is a tool of communication. Text people when you want to talk to them and they aren’t within earshot, and they’re not old enough to prefer letters in the mail or carrier pigeon

Yeah. I’d reach out and just see if he’s been busy or something, catch up a bit. You’ll should talk to him about why missing your birthday upset you since it’s important to you. Being autistic he needs the blunt explanation of “hey, this thing is important to be, this is why, here’s why what you did upset me, and what we can do going forward”

Of course I feel bad about it, but I don’t wanna seem overbearing. And his birthday was a month before, which I texted him at 12am to tell him happy bday and gave him a gift lol. I’m not saying he should do all that, just a “happy birthday” on the day of, would’ve been nice.

I’ve been told by my family that I put too much feelings in my friendships. I literally cried when one of my bsf’s starting becoming distant. They’re like, “reciprocate people’s vibes”. If they’re distant, do the same. Take your feelings for granted, just reciprocate🥲
