Not at all.

I had to do that a few times, and my best friend completely understood considering she herself has mental issues as well.

Just make sure to tell them you will contact them when you feel ready to hang out and talk again.

he said "i understand. i respect your privacy and will give you all the space you need. I just wanted to make sure you're ok. I care for you so deeply and want you to know i'm here for you. I haven't been in a good place either for a while but i'm trying to pull through, knowing that everything passes and thinks are ok at the end, despite the middle part being painful and messy. Please let me know if i contributed to you feeling like this in any way, and i'll respect your wishes" so i said "no, it has nothing to do with you. its me and i have to go through it by myself, thank you"

No we all need our space we all need to regroup refocus
I did the same thing I allow my body to just chill clear my mind and then in a few days I start all over again you need to do that you need to take care of your body and your mind otherwise it won't take care of you it can heal it can do anything you want it to do but you have to take care of it and yourself

I agree with you, do what is comfortable with you.

Thanks for MHO :)

That doesn't sound harsh at all. It's okay to need space and privacy, and it's perfectly fine to take time for yourself to recharge.

Just make sure that you communicate your needs clearly, so your best friend understands that it's not a personal thing and that you still value their friendship.

Everyone needs their own space from time to time.

[Asker]

can you pls message me? i need to take your take on how she responded, but for some reason i can't message first cause im still new here. im not really sure what to do.

[EmmaMary]

Seeing as you're anonymous this will be absolutely impossible.

So please, just ask away right here instead.

[Asker]

she said "i understand. i respect your privacy and will give you all the space you need. I just wanted to make sure you're ok. I care for you so deeply and want you to know i'm here for you.

Well that's completely understandable and totally justified.

Sounds like you've got one extremely good and trusted friend.

Sincerely hope you can get yourself sorted out and back on an even keel very soon indeed.

All good luck for the future.

Goodbye.

[Asker]

Thank you. yes i thought she was pretty sweet and understanding about it.

[BigDog1989]

Why do you need to go into a cocoon. You should talk to a therapist

[Asker]

can you message me cause my level is too low for me to message you first. I want to tell you how she responded- i need some insight please

[BigDog1989]

You're anonymous, dumbass

[exitseven]

No, I would appreciate the honestly

[In_Trance]

you're too old for this crap
