It is important to say twhat you think to your friends if you want them to be real friends. You don`t want them to be friends with a mask but with the real you. And everyone needs time to be alone and time to share. If you can explain this to them and realise that they also need the same, you will not have any problem.

The truth is, I am not sure of anything. But I`m too old to go around with masks on. Either people like me as I am or they can move on. Funny enough, I found several very good friends after that: I also had the pleasure of looking at them without their masks.@jirexpress (155)

they are not friends, they are just using you for what you can give them, you don't need them, find better friends.

well that's life and we can't seem to get away with that. most of what we call real friends are just fair weathered and when you're out and down with your blues, they just fly away or vanished like thin air. just be honest with them. Sometimes the truth seems really harsh, but you need to ask yourself what the consequences of your lies may be.Most people can appreciate honesty, as long as it is given with caring and respect.

Can't you just tell them you need some "me time"? I tell my friends that all the time especially if I for sure need some time alone. i definitely NEED my "me time" - maybe a lot more than most people, I'm not sure. Some people are just not like that and you need to help them understand!

Everyone needs a little alone time to find the perspectivr in their lives and get grounded once again. If someone is truly your friend they will understand the=at there are times when you would to be by yourself. It doesn;t have to said in rudeness. =, just in honesty. A real friend will understand. @Beaver114 (73)

Honesty is the best policy. Open up and tell your friend the truth. If he/she is a true friend, he/she would truly understand. Everyone needs time for oneself.

Oh yes, i know about this, we all have this kind of friend that is always assuming that we need them all the time, even if what we obviously need is a time for ourselves. :D ah some people just do not understand.. or are rather insensitive to actually acknowledge that they are not needed. I do have a way how to let them know that i need my space... I tell them i need to do something! ha ha :P
