*hugs* Hon, you don't have to interact with me and the Clan more than you can. We're not going to be like "omgomgomg, talk to usssssss!".. We KNOW you have other things that you need to do. And with our fibro, we're perfectly able to understand it if you're feeling like "I'm too tired to really listen to your babbling right now", since we have days where we're like "can't. hold. conversations.."..
You need to take care of you and your priorities. Tell us if you need time alone. We won't get angry or anything. You're not a shitty friend for taking care of yourself and your needs. It's totally understandable if you need to shift the "interact with the roomies" priority down for a bit.
*hugs* Hang in there. You're not a horrible person. Everyone has trouble balancing their life at some point.
This has been one of the struggles in my life, and sometimes I've felt similarly. It took me a while to figure out that I can't do everything I want, and that I have choose the things and people I'm most interested in and let the rest go. I think about my friends from RIT, and I think I should keep in better contact with them. I feel like there's so many things I want to do, or at least try, but I've only got 40 years left here.
Since you're observing it, this must have been happening for a little while at least. It's not about it happening, because I think it's part of life for anyone that's not a couch potato. It's more about how you deal with it: you can ignore the issue and just blow people off when there's too much going on, or you can try to be honest with yourself about what you really want to do and have the time to do, and focus on those things. And sometimes things still don't work out quite right; I think I lost a friend recently when I hadn't been initiating contact with her as much as she'd have liked.
