Conversing with someone you have a platonic relationship with often doesn’t mean you’re treating them like a romantic partner.
Consistent communication doesn’t mean that you have romantic feelings for someone.
Nothing is inherently romantic about saying good morning/night to your friend first thing in the morning, asking how their day/week has been, or checking in regularly.
None of that is “doing too much.” nor is it “getting too close.” It’s showing them that you value having them in your life.
If you think that kind of consistency should only exist in romantic relationships, then logically, you should be fine with irregular communication with your romantic partner regularly, right?
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be actively present in your friend’s life.
Platonic relationships aren’t secondary to romantic relationships.
People often forget that friendships are relationships too!
Romantic relationships aren’t the only important relationships people have!

There’s something wrong with that level of communication if the person receiving it doesn’t want it.
It can be okay to communicate that regularly with platonic friends. It also can not be. It all depends on what levels of communication the people involved are comfortable with, and the person with the lower requirements tend to win out in the end.
Where the fuck is this considered unpopular? Friends are supposed to be messaged often. That’s kinda the point, otherwise you lose contact and become less close.
It is if you want to bang them. That said, you must always keep the friendship first and foremost in these situations otherwise it’s out of order.
Agreed, and can see why some could see this as an unpopular opinion. Friends (depending on close they are and the dynamic) are supposed to message eachother
