Becoming a better friend

I have a question.

I tend to be very selfish or self-adsorbed, especially recently, and I don't usually think "oh, how are my friends doing?" that often. Even if I decide to say hi and ask them how they're doing just because I feel like I should try to be more caring, is that okay? Is it okay to "fake it til I make it"?

@northlexl1214 I totally get it! I am the same way. It's out of habit to say hi... how are you? Even though most of the time I don't really care at the moment. But I also think checking in on friends especially during times like this would be helpful. I personally am trying to get out of "faking it" but I do it and being there for whoever needs me.
