IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
Some Friendships Need to Go with Issa Rae

That's why I'm like, you have to be honest about like, hey girl, like I'm, I have a lot on my plate and I'm, that's hard to say. Because I was, yeah, I was going to say like, I just want to be a dinner friend. And I guess in those situations where I've been confronted about like, hey, because I have been, I feel like I give you more energy. That I have just been like, I've blamed it on work.

I've blamed it on I'm busy, but I haven't said I don't want to devote the time to this. Saying that I have work is the excuse and they can choose to pleasantly ghost me and I wouldn't be as affected. The fact that Eva is actually affected by this is what's confusing me because you... you didn't dedicate the energy to want to be her friend.

And I'd imagine that you do have a set of friends that are hired to your friends that do get your time and energy, that you do consider those people. Or you're just a loner and don't know how to make friends. And that's a whole different situation. But I'm confused by the loss because you had this person who cared about you, invested in you.
