How do you get the point of the below message across without sounding rude and angry?

Question

I'm sorry if this sounds b$tchy or petty. but if i hadn't txted u today to say hi and how r u; would u have done the same, ever? please don't take this the wrong way. just something i noticed, u never keep in touch

Answer 1

You asked a similar question yesterday.

I would say "Call me when you get a free moment.".  The message you want to get across will never be well received no matter how you word it.  This way even though you won't get your point across it will be encouraging rather than discouraging.

Some people are less social than others and rarely initiate.

Answer 2

dude some people are so mean. id text you back. the person is a jerk. dont talk to him.you said nothing wrong. the statement was fine.

Answer 3

i dont think.. tht was rude or angry at all.. u got ur message across.. well done.. lol

Answer 4

That's not bitchy.

I think it's fine just as is.

Answer 5

leave it as is.

*hugies*

it's okay dude, ppl just forget sometimes, or don't wanna bother....  

Answer 6

Your statement is fine as is....say what you just said and that should get your point across just fine : )

Answer 7

get over it. people have different schedules and priorities than texting.  cut the person some slack, they'll get back to you in good time if they want to, if not it doesn't really matter what you tell them, they're not interested.

Answer 8

Just in my personal opinion, I think the message you wrote sounds a little passive aggressive. This is how I might suggest to modify it.

"I texted you today because it is important to me that we keep in touch. I don't intend to be placing blame, but I wish I could hear from you more often."  

That is if you want to avoid being at all offensive. If you are hoping to confront the person directly about this issue (which may be a wise choice if this has been a constant problem) then perhaps you can suggest the two of you get together to talk. Then you can bring up the issue of wanting to keep in touch more and how your feelings are hurt when this person ignores you or avoids contact.
