I'm going to be upfront and honest with you the best I can...and I'm not at all trying to be insulting or upset you more than you already are.

Like I said earlier, if you need a certain thing from a relationship, it's your responsibility to communicate this to the person BEFORE you become friends. Then they can decide rather it's a need they can fulfill or not. It used to hurt me when people didn't answer me or want to hang out with me. I lived with a room mate for a year who was also my friend and for the longest time she refused let me go anywhere with her. It was hurtful, but I later realized that it was a difficult time in her life and she needed space, especially from me, because I can be annoying (just like everyone is, at times). BUT that didn't mean she didn't still love or care about me. I learned to not expect too much from her, and when she wasn't available I found someone else to talk to or just took time to myself. We're still friends to this day.

If this isn't something you can settle for, then it's absolutely your right to walk away. But know that there is no one in the world who can meet your needs all the time. You won't always be their main priority, and there will be times that they would prefer to hang out with someone else. It even happens with married couples-ever hear of a guy who wants to hang out with his buddies rather than stay home with his wife? It's normal, and in my opinion, quite healthy. Of course there might be SOME people who want to hang out more than these friends you had. Maybe those are the ones you should seek out, and let them know that's what you like to do, like I said.

Getting mad, though, is not rational. No one is "right" or "wrong" here. You are two different people with different needs. I sometimes avoid people. I don't always offer explanations either. If they can't accept that this is the way I am, then we just might not be compatible. That's all it is. If you need more than she can give, she isn't the right person for you.

Again, that's just my $00.2...trying to offer some insight.
