I have a close friend, who I've known for about 9 years. We shared a house for the last five years, until March.
She bought a house, and so I moved out. Her house has a lot of work needed, most of which she wants to do herself. A lot of our mutual friends have helped with this.
However, each time I offer, she either says she isn't doing the house on the times I could do, had too many people already helping or replies about midnight saying sorry, she was busy. The replying at midnight thing is something she has always done.
Ive suggested we do other things, such as a bike ride or food, and we have once. She invited other people along which was nice, but meant I didn't get to see her. When I said this, she said that she is an introvert and would rather see people all in one go to save always been with people.
I miss her, and what our friendship was like in the past. Any suggestions on how I can improve things?
