I have a friend that never txts or calls me out of the blue. she does answer my emails and calls but she never starts the conversations. im i right to be so upset by this as she does have a lot of friends. im i just clinging on to a none existant friendship or could she just be bad at making the first move?

Duffer,
Perhaps she is afraid to start the conversation, as you said. Sometimes it is hard for people to know exactly what to say, or how to say it.
I sometimes myself am that way--I will get super busy, and then someone will email me, and I have forgotten about them for a few seconds, and then I email them back. Perhaps she just gets busy off and on?
You call it a non-existent friendship one minute, and then in the beginning, you mention she is a friend to you. I don't mean this badly, but do you feel at all that your friendship is just a one way street, or do you have reasons to believe she is your friend?
I really can empathize and understand your feelings in the situation, because of course, you want her to contact you first sometimes.
I hope for the best for you.
