My friend really wants to see me tonight, mostly because he thinks he’ll be bored alone.
I’m feeling pretty worn out and my mind is in bad shape, but he doesn’t seem to take no for an answer. I could wait until he calls and asks me to hang, but I don’t want to talk to him over the phone as he can be pretty convincing.
Would this be an okay text to send to him?
“Hey. I don’t think we should see each other tonight, I’m not doing too well and I really need some rest. Besides, we both have to get up early tomorrow and I need to get as much sleep as I can. I’d be happy to hang with you tomorrow, though.”
Thanks, guys.
I sent him the text, and he just responded that I should take myself to the doctor tomorrow, as I feared.
We’d agreed to meet after the doctor visit, so I responded and asked him if he still wants me to come by tomorrow. Now he’s not responding.
Argh, I hate it when people take it personal that I won’t hang out with them!
When is he going to learn not everyone has a constant need for social interactions?
