Where do you stand?

Where do you stand?


I have a young friend who’s been on lockdown for weeks now, and he sends messages now when he would ordinarily be busy at work or sleeping prepare for the next day. However, I don’t really have the time talk him, nor am I interested in entertaining him on a consistent basis. I really want tell him that I will reach out him when I want tal And then I think about how selfish that is. I’m also now wondering if that is how people treat . Don’t call ; I will call you when it’s convenient for . You know, some relationships are built on convenience, and some are based on mutual need. Do yourself and everyone else a favor in your relationships...make sure everyone knows where he stands so he has the chance go stand somewhere else. If it’s convenient, then no one gets hurt by time or distance. If it’s need, then someone is bound be hurt when his needs aren’t being met.

Sound advice, get everybody on the same page. I'd certainly tell the young fella, when he texts and you don't feel like chatting, that you're busy and you'll reach out again when you have more time to properly chat. Hopefully he'll understand that but if he keeps reaching out then you'll know he doesn't really care what you want, only that you satisfy his need.

I agree with you. We’ve already had a chat about boundaries. It’s time to move on to the blocking phase. I hate that.

It's always tough call when you can't see through the phone.
Nothing wrong with being honest.
In any case... I can always tell if someone is tied up. There's a certain vibe to the conversation.
He'll be fine. Honesty works! 👍 😊
