“I’m not flaky. I didn’t know I would be mentally under the weather when it came time to hang.” THIS. I love this wording. Thinking about myself as flaky is one of my favorite ways to self-flagellate when I'm not up to socializing because of my mental health. This is such a better framing.

Thank you so much for sharing! This is really helpful so I can support my loved ones.
