Feeling a little down

[CalicoPurpl90]

I tried calling my friend yesterday to catch up and talk and he didn't answer nor did he call me back. I know I shouldn't be obsessing over this as life happens and it most likely has nothing to do with me, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed and down as I was really hoping to talk to him on the phone. I texted him last week on Thursday to say hello and he responded back, but the conversation kind of fell through. It is not like him to not respond back to me. I know his job is taking up a lot of his time and there is a possibility that he might not have wanted to be bothered which is why he didn't answer or call back. I don't want to obsess over this. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?

You need a good distraction.

You are doing the right thing to come on here to chat to other people. Your friend (however good) understandably needs his own space too.

I agree with superhealer that a good distraction can help. Or is there anyone else that you can talk to ? If you feel like you need to talk to someone and your friend is not available you can always feel free to reach out to me.

Thank you Shimmer93 and superhealer. I distracted myself today by taking a long walk by the harbor. Watching and listening to the water and boats seems to relax me. Given that today is a Monday, it wasn't crowded in that area for walking, which made it more relaxing. I was feeling antsy and did not want to stay at home and sulk, so it ended up working out well. My friend has done something like this before. I am suspecting he did not answer or call back because he needed some space and did not want to be bothered. The last time this happened I confronted him about it and it was because of this same reason. I know he is very busy with his new job, he has communicated that with me when we texted about three weeks ago. I don't want to jump to conclusions in thinking that he is somehow crossing me out as a friend or drifting away from me. I will give him some time that he needs and try calling later on this week possibly.
