replying to an email...and I really should do it, but I don't know what to say :( I don't wish to be horrible, but i don't feel like making 'new friends' lol , i just want to curl up in my own little hell and not come out for a bit..

do you get like that?

Hi hun yep regularly sadly BUT there is nothing wrong with that sometimes :¬)

methinks I understand, there was time when all I wanted to do was to hide somewhere and let the world go by......

Bob

everybody needs some me time sometimes rose

Hi Bob and Rach'...and then I end up feeling guilty because maybe they need someone to talk to to cheer THEM up and get them out of the mire...and then I feel annoyed that I feel that I should help... and do my usual thing of "I'm fine :)))"

pleeesseee can i join this club......all i wish i could do is curl up and die for a while/not even answer my front door/keep em all out!

Liek Joy said sometimes you have to think of JUST YOU! its important because what use are you to others if you aren't yourself??? I have days when I have to tell people not to tell me their woes because we after all we ALL have them at some stage its ok to be like it hun honest xxx

oooh i know that feeling only too well Rose.....

~~~Joy and Cane ,

yep Cane join the club, I did force myself to answer the phone earlier, and it was someone trying to sell me a credit card... I was not my usual 'regretfully no thanks' self...just 'I'm not interested !" lol

You can reply Rose in a manner that will not offend, as sometimes when we have matters "hanging over our heads" we tend to want to retreat further and the more we put things off...... mountains to molehills!

Hope tomorrow is a better day

"me time" what's that like.......

night night all xxx

Is it a friendship by email only? If so, I would answer it. For one thing, you might be doing them a favour by being someone for them to talk to.

On the other hand, you might gain a good friendship from it. - and if you feel at a later date, that you are not compatible, you can always 'forget' to answer, or even block/delete.

Curling up in your own little corner is nice for a while - but not always the best way to do things. Go on - answer them. You've nothing to lose.

Oh Rose, I feel like that quite a lot lately. Retired from work last year, oh what I was going to do, but find I have been hibernating, go into panic mode when someone knocks on door. lol

sending to you Rose (((((hugs)))))) as that is all I can do.

I will not say what I think you should do because you will work it out when you are ready.

Nope....sorry Rose...you have to answer as if you are a good person and keep your own feelings to yourself....You just know you do!...tis you....to do anything less will make you feel guilty and feel less of a person.....You just know that I am right.....I am afraid :-)


And yes I do know how you feel!

nudging to thank all who replied last night....

and to tell 'Jiminy Cricket' , the voice of my conscience...aka Susan with numbers... ( and Berona) that I HAVE replied to the email and did feel better for doing so lol
