Should I tell my friends that I dont want to see them or chat to them all the time?

[Hannah]

I dont feel like talking to my friends sometimes when they ring I normally feel like im not interested in chatting as Iv nothign much to say And it annoys me that sometimes one of my friends seems to text throughout the day and if I dont text back in afew mins they wounder why not. Am I weird that Id rather only speak and see them about once a week? Should I just tell them the truth do you think they nwill be offended?

If you don't feel like talking then you have that right to yourself. It's called 'healthy boundaries' You need to let them know (set a boundary) that you don't always feel like texting back. It is that simple. If someone is your friend they will understand and respect you for that. If they get offended at you for being you they probably want control over you and only you can give power over you away to someone else. And one way to lose personal power is to let people dictate what you are going to do and how you think and act. The truth is the right and simple way if they don't respect then you need new friends that will respect you and your wishes.
