If you’re that anti-social why bother with friends at all?

Seems like just you don’t know what you want.

Humans are social animals, no matter how introverted. Sometimes it catches up with you.

I'm not quite as bad as the post, but emotions are complicated. I like friends, and I like being invited, even if I might not be able to go.

I do want to go out to places, but sometimes the distance, timing, proximity to last event, etc make it too much.

I don't want to fall out of the list of invitees though, as I will want to go at some point in the future. Sometimes it's an event that not going to might be a problem otherwise, even if I'm not up to it, but to maintain invites/friendship it's best to suck it up.
