What small things do you do to keep friendships going?​

General

As we get older, friendships and even work relationships become a lot more low-maintenance, but also easier to drift.

I know a few people who would randomly call once in awhile just to talk cock, and even though we hardly meet or chat often, they’re always somewhere at the back of my mind.

It got me wondering, what do you all do to maintain friendships and good working relationships over time? More specifically, what are some small or subtle things you do to show people you value them? It’s not always natural to express this openly, especially for those who are more introverted.

Do you make it a point to check in regularly, or just reach out whenever the person crosses your mind?

Also curious to hear your other habits or “little acts” that help keep relationships going without it feeling forced.
