I've been ignoring a close friend lately & I feel bad about it

It's mainly because I know she's gonna ask how I'm doing or what's been going on & I don't have an answer for any of that. At least not an answer I wanna give.

I have 17 unread messages from her & 6 missed calls by now. I just feel like a bad friend

I’ve done the same with my best friend. When you are isolated, there is nothing to say really. Every day is Groundhog Day, so nothing to update. I feel bad about it too. Just write one line, or two to say you are okay. Put her mind at rest that nothing has happened to you.

@Carissimi yeah exactly. My life just got really out of hand for a while & I decided to isolate. I keep in touch with people but I'm not very involved in anyone's life rn. It's like just taking time to put energy into yourself, I guess

And the longer we isolate, the more we lose energy and motivation. I feel like the walking dead most days. @ChiefWalksWith40oz

@Carissimi it does feel like that at times. I guess I gotta kinda start breaking out of it again soon. I'm kinda used to going through periods of isolation then coming back out of it enjoying life

I wish you well. You are too young to live in misery. @ChiefWalksWith40oz
