Hey,
So I have a work friend that I get on well with, so much so we used to hang out regularly during the work day and also in recent months met up outside of work a couple of times. However they are far more sociable, have a far wider circle and are also now busy at work.
I'm introverted, same work level with a far smaller circle.
Today I apologised to them as I was getting intense over hanging out, they were all cool and fine with this and said no need but there definitely was.
So I don't ruin this friendship, what can I do to take steps to understand work is not a social club, this person does not owe me all there time and such. Do I dial back chat on the work system, keep things light and don't keep asking to hang out?
Thanks
