How do you let a good friend down without hurting them? I have a good friend, who just wants to hang out, but too much time with her seems more of a chore then having fun hanging out, but she doesn't see it like that. Sometimes it seems a friend just over does it and you want to scream "get the hell away from me for a while!" or "right now I just don't fucking like you." I prefer not to do it that way.
I just make myself scarce. If I need space I don't return calls, e-mails, or anything. I've had a few relationships end because of my need for space....but my friends understand. Or you can just tell her you are busy for the next few days.
I just don't want to hurt her feelings... she's lonely and needy as it is and I don't want to make her feel worse.
Tell her that you're not in the mood, a real friend would easily understand and would stop pestering you.
haha, i hate needy people, i like my space too, making excuses is always a good idea. works most of the time, unless they say "youre busy? what are you doing? who with?" CHORE. then you might have to be firm.
