I'm thankful for my friends who remained invested in me when I became so self-embroiled in my own circumstances that I built a cocoon from the people who loved and supported me the most. I was so overwhelmed by all that surrounded me that I didn't have the strength to actually engage my support system.
What you describe is a totally different circumstance. I have been in that position before, and that's just the ups and downs of friendship. That's where friends can truly give and reach out. You weren't being self-centered and me-me-me about it...you were just doing what was necessary to protect yourself. I don't think you could be the sort of person I'm Floored is talking about anyway. :love
(WHOOPS!!! Had to do a quick edit because I wrote "Shat" instead of "What". HAHAHAHAA I'm such a dork.)
