Had Enough (Socially)

Post Reply New Topic

I have had friends in the past that I was close with, but I always end up running them off or I go through periods where I just don't want to be around them when I have my own stuff to do. It's hard to keep friends when they don't share your interests. I go through a lot of hobbies and interests, and if you don't have something in common with someone what are you going to talk about???

Agreed. There are expectations that come from friendships. I have my own life, and I tend to be logical about prioritizing (I'm not going out if I have an assignment due soon, studying wins, I don't care who you are). Others don't seem to grasp this. Also, it seems that my female friends often have these very emotional problems and I am perplexed as to what my role should be. I'm not good at dealing with emotions. My male friends, most of them want more than a friendship and I am happily married, so that's always awkward. Mostly, I like a few friends I can see occasionally and keep up with via e-mail. I'm definitly not normal in my desired interaction frequency, but it works for me.

I know this feeling alternative, I just can't be arsed to socialise. My friend is very irritated by me cos I wont go somewhere with him next week his remark was why can't you just come oh thats it because you're cramming as little as possible into every day.
Can you identify the reasons you don't want to go? Mine are a) boredom b) low mood c) anxiety
