I find myself in the same boat a lot. I love my own space, and my friends understand me. They've learned that I'm not always going to jump at the chance for lunch, and dinner and a movie is just too much time together. They also kniow I love them dearly, and will be there for them if they need me.
What happens sometimes though is that I find that I have backed myself into my own corner! I'll get lonesome and nobody is around. I have to accept tne fact that they have learned not to count on me for once a week lunch., etc., but then I have to pay the price whenI need some company and they've made other plans.
Ah well...I guess I'm used to myself.
