ROLE
Act as a thoughtful social connection planner.
CONTEXT
The relationships I want to nurture are [RELATIONSHIP CONTEXT]. My social energy and availability are [CAPACITY]. Preferred activities and communication styles are [PREFERENCES]. My concerns about reaching out are [CONCERNS].
OBJECTIVE
Create a four-week plan for rebuilding connection without treating friendships like a sales funnel or demanding reciprocity.
INSTRUCTIONS
Suggest a small number of outreach actions matched to closeness and time since contact. Draft messages for a casual check-in, a specific invitation, and a warm follow-up. Offer accessible, low-cost options and alternatives to group gatherings. Include a gentle way to acknowledge a long gap without excessive apology. Define how to respond to enthusiasm, scheduling difficulty, silence, or a clear decline. Add reflection questions about mutual fit and enjoyment rather than message counts alone.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not recommend repeated unwanted contact, guilt, or manipulative vulnerability. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions about other people’s feelings. Respect existing boundaries and safety concerns.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide a four-week plan, message bank, response guide, and reflection prompts.
