Navigating conflicting friendships

My friend suddenly started messaging me a lot after seeing a picture of me with a coworker, suggesting we hang out together, which felt strange after being distant for months

What I wish I knew
"To communicate more openly with my friend about my feelings and boundaries"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest and direct with your friends about your feelings and intentions to avoid misunderstandings"
