gauge it person by person, and based on the nature of your relationship.
ive been in both positions. after my uBPDex i reached out to some long neglected friends. the majority of them pretty much told me thanks but no thanks on reviving our friendship. in retrospect, i think a lot of that was as a result of my approach; i was needy, vulnerable, hurting, even desperate, and it came off. for the most part, in most cases, i think its best to slowly, lightly, reestablish contact.
for closer friends? you can probably pour your heart out, and theyll be there for you
