hey guys,
haven't been here in a couple of days because my internet has been down...but i'm back now...and i have a dilemma....soooo...
my best bud from college, sent me an email, she wants to get together and wants to know when i can make it.....
now, don't get me wrong, i love my friend, and she has always been there for me in good times and bad; but I have isolated myself from my family and friends, because of MY ISSUES....i really don't want to burden them with me....and i don't feel like getting together with people and answering the questions i hate most: HEY! How are you doing? & Whats' the matter? or What's Wrong?
my question is how do i put her off without hurting her feelings.... and without her thinking that i don't care about her? i do care but i just don't feel like seeing people right now....i kinda feel like i'm not worthy to be seen...or known....i'm FAT, i'm unemployed, i don't have any money, my relationship is going to hell, and i just don't know what to do....i don't want to lose her friendship, but i don't want to get together with anyone either....so what do i do?
thanks guys - -DR-

well, that's how yu feel isn't it?
You are worthy to have a friend like her. You call her back and set that appointment up and you go.
You have got to start somewhere. This is the perfect place.
Good luck and let me know how it went.
PS Friends are forever.
Since she has been such a good friend be honest with her. Honesty can also mean being honest about "there is more" but not going there. Can you tell her something like "I'm not in a very good place right now." and then say you would love to see her, but that you are not ready for getting into specifics, and that you would like to make the visit more of a diversion from things than a solving things visit.
Just a thought.
