Not sure how to interpret this or what to do about it?
Have had a fairly awful summer in which my job vanished under odd circumstances (don't want to get into details as maybe too identifying). I loved my colleagues and thought one in particular was a friend. Maybe I've been banging on about job sadness & lack of a love life, but people will insist on saying "if you need anything", but when what you need is to have a turn moaning about life they suddenly go all scarce.
Basically, I've been off work & get a bit bored and no-one's available (supposedly). The bit I really don't like is that friends will say "what about Sunday?" then when I text to ask about times they're suddenly busy on a 3 hour run (looking @ you life-long friend), or have to "run errands". I have to do errands too but also have time for friends.
Rambling a bit, but basically am thinking of waiting for people to get in touch w me (suspect this will be a long wait!) but not really sure about appropriate response to coffee cancellers. Don't want to look like Billy No Mates, so as some of them don't know each other have been saying "oh, that's fine, I've been hanging out with Kate all day instead" or "went to an amazing yoga class" or something. Irks me beyond reason to think they might be feeling a smug pity for me.
