When a guy says he's got a lot on his mind?

[Anonymous]

When a guy says he's got a lot on his mind, what does he mean exactly? Some people say it means exactly that and others believe its a way of avoiding a person. A guy told me that recently, but I don't think he is avoiding me. He has some family issues but manages to text me first usually.

It means exactly that. He's stressed out about things.

Well I dunno. We were out in the x district partying and my friend went up to him and started chatting with him. When she mentioned going out to the bars the next night he said he had a lot on his mind and shouldn't go with us.
