This was an interesting post.
I sometimes feel like friends are so sentsitive that it is a constant burden to keep them happy.
If you don't write them back right away or use exclamation marks, they think your mad. If you don't go out an party with them, they think you don't like them. If you say the wrong thing, they get defensive. Its exhausting and never ending.
Sometimes I like to be alone so I don't have to deal with this.
Enjoy your solitude and be your happy self, (!)
