What would the same guy do if you would call him at night needing his help? I just think, we’re all different and so are our reactions to different situations…While one friend will happily celebrate your victories and happy news with you, the same friend could be overwhelmed with helping you out in times of crisis. Another, probably a little self-absorbed friend – will read your email announcing happy news as “cool, he’s fine” and will not send a congrats card, but might be right there with you if the sh***hits the fan.
If the friendship with this guy lacks quality he might be due for a down-grade, however parameters for defining quality can vary, just as friends and friendships do.
