You sound depressed. You should reach out though (to everyone in your life). You don’t have to talk for long but keep those connections

Not talking to people is never the answer. And your friends are going the shit too. They probably need you right now

This is me for real tbh I think just tell them you need time alone instead of just disappearing. Thats the one thing I wish I did instead and you don’t owe people an explanation about YOUR TIME. If you didn’t already have plans they don’t need an explanations. Your mental health is yours to tell who you see fit.

I’m the same way, just text them when you can, reach out even after months if that’s what it takes, and let them know ahead of time

The problem is when my friend expressed that she was upset that I wasn’t reaching out I tried to text more but I was met with passive aggressive energy or no energy at all. I understand everything is not gonna be dandy immediately but her reaction also plays into the reason I don’t want to reach out, im anxious for the type of reaction I will get if I even ask to plan a hangout

You know what man, you twist all the past experiences you want. If you aren’t willing to be there for your friends, there’s nothing I can do to stop you.

You changed the rhetoric. Now you’re throwing in new stories to support things you hadn’t said before. It’s obvious that you’re just making excuses because I said something you didn’t want to hear

That’s understandable she was probably hurt and acting out or trying to match the amount of effort she thought was appropriate tbh. It’s better than just not doing it tho, it may take a bit to forgive but a true friend will. Even if you make friends super easy it’s important to keep the ones you have.
