<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

I keep finding myself in situations where I make a new friend or reconnect with an old one, and find them messaging or texting me way more often than I am comfortable with. Mainly I just am not very social and enjoy being off the radar and having a lot of free alone time. People, for some reason, assume I am uppity and social, so they immediately start contacting me regularly or inviting me out often. I appreciate the friendship and gestures, but just cannot reciprocate that level to them, and try my best to set my own standard early on. Yet, I have not found a way to "warn" people of this, and they often get offended eventually that I don't want to text them daily or message them daily, and think they are being ignored and "deserve better" and such. I understand their sentiments, but still choose to keep my own preferences sacred as well, so I try to talk to people about it, and explain that I do like them and am not a bad friend just because I am less overtly "available". I assume introverts or other less social types of people already have ways to avoid this embedded in their actions, and I would LOVE to hear what some people do instead! I have even heard how several sociopathic/narcissistic people "handle" the pull of unwanted social pressure, but I'm not sure I should necessarily follow that advice... Thanks!
<bot>: How do you guys let people know that you just aren't ever going to be the type of friend they want you to be?
