I'm always the one chasing love and friendship

My first love left me after I initiated everything, and now I'm in a friendship where I'm always the one who messages first

What I wish I knew
"how to initiate less and let others take the lead"
If I could tell you one thing
"don't be afraid to stop reaching out and see if the other person will contact you first"
