I was wondering what you guys think. Is it ever okay to say "I have enough friends now, thank you." And then walk away? I think I've been bad setting limits this way. I mean, we do this with interested lovers. We can say things like "I'm not seeking a partner right now" or "I'm not interested" or "I'm taken, thank you." So wouldn't it be okay to not spread ourselves out too thinly when we feel like we've hit our max in the friend area? I mean too much, and I start being less effective and more flaky.
It's like what I had to learn when people ask me to commit to various obligations. I had to learn to prioritize and just say "no" to some things. So is it okay to do this with friendship? Sometimes I feel like I'm over stuffing myself. It's hard too because I love people and I really care about each individual.
