You know how you have a friend who you really value in your life, but they're kind of anxious and forgetful and unreliable to the point where they really can give you the shits at times, and then you feel guilty for having the shits with them because you know it's because they're anxious and can't get their brain to focus for more than 2 seconds on one thing, but you still get the shits because every now and then this person thinks you're saying something mean to them when you're not and you have to just step back and stop talking to them for a while so you don't make them feel bad for being a ditzy, disorganised anxious person?
I have a friend like that. Today I am not talking to her for fear of telling her how annoying she is.
