Why do I find it so hard to talk to people, even people I was once close friends with? Recently one of my friends has been posting a lot on Facebook about how he's been feeling pretty down recently, and how a lot of his old friends don't keep in touch with him. I want to message him on Facebook to see how he's doing because I haven't talked to him in a while, and I feel bad for not keeping in touch with him. But I haven't messaged him because I just feel weird, and I don't know why. I haven't talked to most of my friends from high school in years. I would call them, but I feel like I would be bothering them or annoying them if I called them. Why do I feel like this? I even feel like this with my close friends. I have one friend I keep in touch with, but he calls me way more than I call him.

I know that feel OP. I don't contact anyone I know because why would they want to talk to me? I'm boring and useless, I have nothing to say. They'd have a better time without me there.

I, too, can relate. I'm terrible at keeping in touch with people. Thing is though, the few times I do get in touch with someone, they seem to honestly appreciate it.
In your case OP, you should definitely send him a message. If he's been posting about feeling down and people not keeping in touch then that's a golden opportunity for you. He'd appreciate it, no doubt.
Speaking of which - I think messaging someone is a lot better than calling them. Phone calls are synchronous. It forces the receiver to drop what they're doing and dedicate all attention to you. I by far prefer the asynchronous nature of messaging. You can't really bother someone with a message, because they're free to read it whenever it suits them. Or, you know, not read it at all if they don't want to.
