Driving Friends Away

That's the same problem I encounter. I'm either antisocial or too clingy. Fortunately, my best friend and his family seem to understand my dilemma and socially interact with me in a way that isn't a problem. They do not place me in a position to be clingy, nor do they get offended if I seem antisocial.

That's really good, it's wonderful to have people like that who understand :) one of my worst moments was when I was texting/calling a friend several times a day and suddenly he stopped, so I send a message pretty much every day over the 2 week period he was missing to check he was okay and ask if anything had happened. Apparently he had gone on holiday and forgot to tell me (this was before Facebook/iPads/etc & holidays meant no computers) and never spoke to me again, as I guess 14+ texts/calls from the same person is kind of strange. I like to think I've learned and try to consider situations rationally and from the other person's point of view..
