I am a Big Brother, and tomorrow we're supposed to go have lunch at the park with our littles. I forgot about it until now. I didn't even call my little to make sure he'd be there (like we were told to) because I hate using the phone. Actually, I didn't even want to do BBBS beyond high school (it's a school-based program), but I wasn't assertive enough to get that across to the coordinator, who really wanted me to continue.

I feel selfish, but I really don't want to do this. I like my little, but my social anxiety makes me hate the program and all the little things that are expected of you. I'll go tomorrow just in case he shows up, but what do I do? The coordinator's going to start asking why I haven't made contact with him over the summer, and I don't know how to reply.

I've been "stuck" like that with certain events in my life, too. I'm sorry you're going through this. If you want to quit, you might just say, "I've got some personal issues to deal with, and I really don't have the time right now."

Good luck.

Getting out of the program is probably is a good idea since it affects both you and your little.

I agree with these posts...no point in you getting upset and concerned and him picking up on it...
