I used to work with someone, who I’ll call April for now, and we used to hang out after work all the time. We got along for a while and were pretty close, but we really had nothing in common. After a while of rejecting calls not knowing how to tell them that I just didn’t enjoy hanging out with them, I just… ghosted them. I feel awful about it and want to apologize, but I don’t know how to do so in a way that doesn’t make it seem like I want to be friends again. I just want to stay acquaintances at most.
They’re a super sweet person, I just found hanging out with them draining since we never really did anything that I liked to do. None of it is their fault. I’m usually not like this, it’s the first time I’ve done something so shitty for literally no reason other than fear.
They’re in one of my classes now (college) and I just don’t know what to do.
