Thank you for that perspective, rapidcycla, I had not thought of that-- social anxiety. And I'm sure you're lovely. I'm really not sure if that's what's going on with my friend. My sense though is that if one is anxious about making a good impression one could do better than to say, "hey you're moving! well can I come stay with you and hang out with other people but not you while you do that????"

Yeah.... hehe I guess my own social anxiety is speaking a little bit here though. I just really want to know my friends are there for me.
