I'm not going to expect my best friend to make time for me.
Do you want him to make time for you?
I don't want to bother him with all my problems, I can deal with them on my own.
There's no need to be prideful. You don't think your best friend would make time for you if you asked?
Close friends are a waste of time and I would rather use that time doing other things.
If you don't ask, the answer is always no. Drop the pride and ask your friend to lend their ear.
