My "problems" are not anyone's concern.

No they're not, but friends worry so they will ask.

Yeah, but if I say it's okay and I can handle things just fine myself, it'd be nice if I was believed.

Maybe you should add. "But I know where you are if I need you."

But I don't need.

I know, but it makes them feel better.

You're not a very happy guy, are you?

It's been a long weekend.

Well it is a three day weekend...

...That it is. I didn't even consider that. Call me Captain Obvious then.

Alright Captain Obvious, what's so terrible about people being concerned for you?

It's when they're too concerned. You know? Making a big deal out of something that isn't a big deal to begin with.

I do understand that, really. My friends can be borderline psychotic and overbearing at times. I guess in the moments I feel overwhelmed with it I think of all the people in the world who don't have anyone to be concerned for their well being. When I take that into consideration, I remember how lucky I am.

What's wrong, Billy?

Uh, it's, uh, it's nothing, really, just, y'know...annoyances. Arguments.

then I'm not going to ask.

Good. I mean, kind of the point of saying that. Sometimes it sucks to have friends that care too much.

I'd like to think I care.. but...

if you don't want to talk about it...

I've just been having stupid arguments with a friend who decided it was her job to stick her nose in things better left dropped. It's nothing, don't worry about it.

If you say so Billy.

Damn straight.

Exactly, right? It's like, 'hello, not your business, go away now'.

I completely get it. It's great that they care and all, but sometimes you just want to do it alone.

Especially if you can. I mean, I'm the big helper of my friends, but hey, I back off if they say it's okay.

Oh I'd do anything for my friends, but as long as whatever they're doing isn't going to get them killed, if they say they don't want my help then I'll back off.

Please. If I tried to pull that, I'd get shut down so fast.

Probably because you're not arguing enough?
