I moved to another state for a job, my anxiety has increased and I'm preparing to take a leave of absence due to this and the job just not being a good fit. As a result I've withdrawn from my closest friend here and other ppl associated with my job, but they keep asking me to hang out.

I'm hoping not to tip them off to my plans of taking leave or looking like I personally dislike them. I just go inward at times like this and the job is their life focus so hanging with them feels like working on free time.

I'm tired of making up reasons that I am unavailable to meet up only for them to keep trying to reschedule.

How do I politely tell them that I don't want to hang out, permanently?
