I am a person who needs my space a lot so as a result I often disappear and withdraw from people around me all the time.
But I have a friend who gets fustrated and upset at me whenever I am in my withdrawal mode so now I started modifying my behavior so that she can stop being upset with me.
I never withdrew from her anymore because I don't want her to feel upset with me, but at the same time, this feels very unnatural to me because withdrawing from people is part of my natural reaction to stress, I feel like I am modifying part of myself just to keep my friend from being upset with me.
Is this action of mine known as "walking on eggshells"?
Am I "walking on eggshells" around my friend?
