Re: the personal/professional overlap of writing, my most common anxieties are "is this person my friend or do they just see me as a professional connection?" and "have I been downgraded from connection to acquaintance b/c I'm not producing enough or is my friend just busy?"

Which in turn feels like a dumb and arrogant anxiety to have, because it comes off as self-aggrandising even in my own head to think I'd be professionally worth that sort of effort. So then I end up sitting here like, "Maybe adulthood just sucks like this, forever."

I have the exact same type of problem :( And the fact that a handful of times we have been proven right (we DID lose a friend) doesn't help this paranoia not even a wee bit

/hugs gently/ and my weasels tell me I'm being a bother and a pest when I reach out to friends who Clearly Have Better Things To Do, so this thread is a relief (and also now I know that it's okay to poke you sometimes so expect that!)
