I might not be able to do what you ask me to do…

…but will you still be my friend?

I try to do it but cannot, so I give you the real reasons why I cannot do what you ask me to do. Will you get upset and loosen up our friendship?

Is friendship all about being performative, and the moment we are not doing things, we are losing friends?

Can we be friends for who we are as humans, even when the performance ceases?

I understand if you do not want to be friends then, but then were we friends to begin with?
