I don't even know man

I've talked about my friend on here before, so we know him, we know he's the type to ignore you for two weeks and come back for a day or two, but like 50 mins ago he texted me saying he was feeling better than usual and apologizing again for not talking, and he says he misses our conversations, I responded like 20 minutes ago, don't worry, I'm not ignoring him, and last time he texted me he said he skimmed my texts in the time when he didn't respond and he was happy for me and then he said 'but back to me' (literal words he said) and asked if I could stalk someone online for him, I stopped texting him long paragraphs, because I know I won't get a response so why bother, but I don't want him to think I hate him so I still say goodnight every night and do a quick recap of my day, I know he's struggling and he's stressed and that's why he doesn't talk to me (or anyone else, allegedly) but still, I feel like he could spare a minute to open the app and read my texts, perhaps concoct a short response, idk I also don't know who or if anyone is in the wrong, cuz I could just not take it to heart, and he could spare a few seconds to at least open the app so it marks my texts as read or press the 'mark as read' button on the notification, but also life happens, so I don't know, I'm gonna go sleep now and try not to feel guilty for not having a proper conversation after he finally talked to me because it's my bedtime and if I stay up too late I'll get in trouble, k bye
