so I've been going thru a really hard time lately and bc of that I feel like I've been pushing my friends away and idk how to stop. I wanna hangout with them but I'm just scared to ask and so I've stopped reaching out first which has impacted our friendship and I don't want them to feel like they're the only ones who ever reach out I'm just having a really hard time communicating any of that to my friends so ya, how do I say this without making my friends think I'm being dumb or making our friendship awkward
I feel like you could tell your friends exactly what you posted, it's pretty concise and explains that it's not them but it's you. if you don't want to do that, though, I'd reccomend to just be as honest as possible. tell them that you still care about them and want them to be your friends but you're having a bad bout of depression and that can make you feel bad for "bothering" them
