Got an opposite of your problem.
I have people I wanna chill around with but feel like I have nothing of value to contribute and fear I'm boring hence I don't join now. There's this massive feeling of getting shoved away. 

How does one go about the feeling of abandonment. I'm this close on just holing up again and not wanting friends. People tend to just stay away from me when I want to hang out with them. I'm totally open to the idea of me being too clingy but where is the boundary. Usually can't tell if people need space or just being abandoned out right. The key seems to be being able to be reassured there is a safe and secure place to go home to. In a catch 22 scenario of being able to give space only if security is ensured. While becoming clingy if abandonment is detected. Logically speaking I do believe my actions aren't clingy and I do my best to give my friends space.
Ah this is complicated.

Sorry for that tangent anon, needed to get it off my chest into the void. As for your case, there's no problem at all just working on yourself or project for a while. Take a break and tell your friends you need some space if they want to hang out with you. I'd like to stress out that you have to be very direct with this. Please no bullshit mind reader requirement. If they're good friends they will give you space if you need it if you ask.
