My long term friend and I have not contacted each other for some time. We used to take a few times a week. Our partners had a fall out and things just seems awkward.
I had learnt not to rely on that person in my life grieved in her absence. I have reached out a few times but the response have been we are very busy, I can't fit you in, will not work for me etc.... so I learned not to reach out and friendship have fizzled out.
They have reached out of the blue saying we must meet up... how can I politely decline? I am afraid my fragile heart getting hurt and broken as plans are made but often cancel and no message or contact for months. .. . I worry all the time.... it's affecting me and increase my procrastination.
