I hate it when people insist on hanging out with me rather than asking if I want to hang out.

I'm going out later tonight, I have a busy weekend ahead, and I have some homework to get done. Really, I just want to be left alone for the next few hours.

But, no. One of my friends insists on visiting me. I like him, but he didn't even ask if I felt like hanging out....he just announced that he was coming to campus.

Can't all these neurotic extroverts leave us neurotic introverts alone? Cheeiz.

1. Thank you and thank you again.

And thanks once more. I completely get it.

I know way too many people with mega time on their hands.

They show up too often

They stay too long.

And they don't get a whole lot said in between.

Cheers.

I need to go now.

And leave you be.

2. Pushy friends are pushing their needs upon you

instead of asking you what you need and trying to be a friend on your terms. That isn't a very mature or helpful friend. :(

Especially when it is guys being pushy with women friends it is often because guys feel like they have a Right to lead the relationship and decide what will happen, and when, and where. You're just their sidekick.

I hope you can helpfully correct your friend's behavior, and any sexism that might be part of it. There is no reason to put up with any of that.
