Can you send a text or email and tell them that? Just say, hey my anxiety is preventing me from calling you and guilt for all the time past is feeding it.
“I want to call, but I feel guilty about not calling for so long. Do you want me to call?”
Some people will tell you to fuck off, some will grit their teeth and say yes, and some will just be happy you’re talking again. It can hurt to lose a friend, but it’s better to lay it on the table and let them choose you or not instead of wallowing in the guilt.
It’s true, but my best friend hasn’t called for years because he got tired of me not calling him back. Anxiety is a bitch.
