I think the problem is that while I'm sick I feel like I could be a much better friend. I wake up and I don't feel like doing much of anything with anyone, so I go and play Grand Theft Auto for hours and hours. At a point, I start realizing, I haven't talked to my relatives who are at my house near constantly, or my friends, or my girlfriend, and I go upstairs and try to take care of that. And at that point, I feel terribly inadequate at talking to them just because I'm not feeling too fantastic. I feel like I'm abusing my excuse of sickness to the point where I'm seen as impolite, when really, I'm just not feeling well enough to do anything.

Kids, this is why I hate being sick. Not just because I'm feeling crappy, but also because of social dilemmas.
