[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at OP's title post. It was about "the right words", how to "frame" the message. As if the right words will matter, make it better. It's not words, it's actions. So tired of "introvert" and "anxiety" as a crutch. It's a horrible learned behavior. Learned from a parent, likely, this, "I must be accommodated, I'm so special and fragile."

Get your sh*t together. Decide to deal with adult life. These friends, Op clearly doesn't prioritize them.[/quote]

I wish we had more people in this world who cared about finding the right words and framing a message. It's called empathy: The post was about how to have empathy for good friends while also protecting oneself. You seem to be bringing a lot of baggage to this post, introducing new words like introvert, special, and fragile.

You do know that anxiety is a medical diagnosis, right? Just like a fractured hip or diabetes. I'm so tired of people who ignorantly spew the false belief mental health isn't an actual problem.

Also, nowhere in the post does ANYONE ask to be "accommodated." It was about canceling or showing up, not asking anyone to change plans.

You seem to be seeing this post through a deeply personal lens.[/quote]
