"When Marie-Antoinette is going through her shoes while preparing for a big party, one can see a pair of blue Converse All Star 1923 Chuck Taylor basketball shoes. While these shoes were evidently not in existence at the time of Marie-Antoinette, their inclusion in the film was intentional, to show that despite the era, her being of royal blood, and immensely tasked with performing her royal duty to continue the king's bloodline, Marie-Antoinette was still a teenage girl who was trying to find her place in the world."

Marie Antoinette (2006), dir. Sofia Coppola

If you're the person in your friend group who initiates conversations 90-100% of the time, it can feel tempting sometimes to just stop contacting people to see if they will reach out, and therefore if they actually like you or if you are inflicting yourself on them. The problem with this is there are multiple flaws that can't be overcome in this type of test, including the fact that if you always reach out and suddenly don't, people will assume you're busy rather than that you want them to reach out, or just the fact that some people genuinely enjoy your company but hate or are terrible at remembering to reach out. So basically don't immediately assume that silence always equals disinterest or disdain; that's your own hangups talking, not the people you care about.
