[quote=Anonymous]I had a coworker I was friends with get sick and end up in the hospital in another city 20 years ago. He was in the hospital for a long time waiting for a kidney transplant. He was eventually so bored, so he texted me in the afternoon for hours. Then, it turned into almost all day. At first, it was fine, but he would send multiple texts asking what I was doing when I didn't respond. I would be busy getting ready for work or at work. I explained that I couldn't text all day, but my friend didn't seem to care. Eventually, I stopped responding. It got to the point where I felt like I had to block him. He stayed friends with some of our other coworkers that I still talk to. He passed away last year. I felt guilty awhile after he passed that I should have not been so definitive in my boundaries. However, that is what it was. He was stepping over my boundaries. And, that doesn't make a good friend.[/quote]
