Should I tell friend true reason I have not met up?
My best friend from childhood contacted me several years ago on FB to meet up. It had been roughly 20 years or so since we had hung out. We did EVERYTHING together and she was so light hearted and kind. When I moved an hour away at age 11, we lost touch for many years.
I've hinted to her recently that I have high anxiety with many issues, but did not say outright it's the reason I have not met up. I get panicked that I'm not enough for new people, whether friends or dating. So I don't meet up and even though we knew each other well, it's been almost 30 years now, so it's like she's a new person to me. She's had a fiance and a good job currently, and I have neither. I feel I'm not enough as a friend sometimes.
She has stopped liking my posts in the last couple years, so I feel weird now bringing up WHY I have not met her. I wonder if she's just written me off.
She did give money to my late aunt's rare disease Gofund, but that was a few years ago. Would you be really vulnerable and share your fears? Or wait until you can meet and then contact her??
