Hi, so recently, I shared some concerns about my friend's behavior and how it was making me feel. He ignored me. A week later, I sent a text saying I was open to talking or that if he needed space, to let me know, so I could respect it.
He tends to run away from unpleasant situations and has said if a friend becomes angry at him, they either come back or he makes new ones.
I've had to withdraw before, dealt with depressing situations and felt unable to speak about them. I have no idea what he's going through because he has not told me, so I am trying to be sensitive to the situation without getting angry any further. When I shared my concerns I was frustrated and apologized for my outburst but explained why I had it.
I don't plan on reaching out another time, so I want to ask if you feel this is the best approach. There has been times before, where I kept trying to meet with friends who said they were busy or tired. They turned out to be busy or tired repeatedly, and were basically using a false excuse. I don't want to be either needy or angry but I might have to risk walking away and see what happens.
