DAE Feel the Urge to Connect with an Old Friend Again but at the Same Time Feel Afraid/Relunctant? What do you do in these cases?

Sometimes an old friend randomly pops up in my mind and the thought of catching up with them feels good. But at the same time it feels overwhelming, like I’m stepping out of bounds of some sorts.

Side Note: I’m using Jerboa for Lemmy and I’m not able to do text posts, hence the gorgeous Across the Spider-Verse image. How do I do a text post?

    Yeah. Mostly I don’t go through with it because I don’t want the drama or baggage that will inevitably show up. I’ve got enough on my plate without having to be someone’s therapist, mover, or some other kind of free labor.

      I feel this. I can barely manage to keep my own shit together. An old friend of mine recently got out of prison (nothing creepy or violent or anything) and has been trying to get hold of me and I absolutely do not have the time or the energy to help them pick up the pieces right now.
