Regarding Birthdays, Funerals and Weddings, i had a casual friendship with a friend since 12-13 years where we would meet once every 2 months for tea catchup half an hour , however since last 2-3 times (Nov 2025, Jan 2026) he publicly said in front of few friends not to catch up or call him ever i tried reaching out once any problem he faced from my side, he didnt replied so i stopped bothering him. Few days back there was a prayer meeting for his paternal uncle i didnt go as i tried reaching out twice but he said again don't message or call. Just sent condolences online once i saw that status , did i do right or how to handle it better
This is the article we didn't know needed but can't live without from now on
I saw coworkers of mine, for example, printing mails and always thought it was stupid (why print it when you have it in your mail?) but realised how useful it is with the passing of time
Same with many other things
Something I missed on the list but related with some of your points is writing things on paper, in general (reminders, to do lists, events in calendar, appointments....)
Navigating the nuance + separating the wheat from the chaff. Beautifully done.

Leave it.
If someone has an ego after more than a decade of friendship, they are not worth your time. Seriously.
You did everything you could, and now it is on him to either pursue the relationship between you two or leave it as it is…
Thank you!
Loved this. Thank you!
appreciate you!
