how to get close again to someone extremely introverted?
me and a family member used to be so so close, just literal besties who were inseparable. but then i got quite affected by bad mental health and was not myself anymore at all, which was hard on them to watch and deal with, and slowly we drifted so much and now conversations can be awkward, or when we are both in the same place it ends up feeling awkward like if i go to get something. and it's just not the same anymore at all, i don't know what it's like from their perspective because they have extremely bad anxiety too and have stated they just can't start conversations in these type of situations (like for example try starting a convo with me when we aren't that close) because it's too awkward etc, and now soemtimes i feel frustrated/upset because if we ever fall out like this again it'll take me so much effort to get close to them again and it does feel draining, because it kinda is like without me putting effort to fix it, it wouldn't go anywhere really (due to their introvertedness i think) . i just want this friendship back really but i dont wanna go through this stage of taking months to reconnect, because its hard. i dont know how to fix this in a better way
