What do I say?

Post Reply New Topic

I have this friend who wants me to come over and see his new place he's renting but
I don't want to be friends with him. He doesn't do anything wrong, it's just that
I don't want to hang out with him anymore. I'm too interested in studying, sleeping and
doing nothing while I go through my motions until university when all my time will be dedicated to studying, work or general things. I really enjoy where I am, and having to commit to this friend would just irritate me. Does anyone else feel like this ever? How would you/should I manage this situation?

Me, not so much but you remind me of my ex-boyfriend. His first love was knowledge and learning. I do have times when I'd rather be by myself then hang out with friends though, it happens a lot. I like to have friends though.

I strongly encourage you to continue to interact with your friend. You may not feel like it now, but there will probably be a time when you really need companionship or sympathy or something. You don't have to spend all your time with your friend, but you should still keep in contact and stay friends.

That happens to me also. What I do is pick and choose who I spend time with and what I do with them. If you have plenty of friends, don't worry about it. If you lack in friends, then you should listen to diniesaur's advise and interact for the sake of interacting. We all need friends in our lives, even if you prefer time alone. Just a thought....

I'd go with what the other people suggested too. Make up something about having to be somewhere else on the same day you go over, so you don't have to stay long. It's good to keep in touch even if you don't hang out, so you don't have to hang out with somebody often, just don't burn your bridges with them. You never know when you might need somebody in the middle of the night to pick you up if your car breaks down or to come to the jail with bail money.
