I left a job recently and an acquaintance from this workplace is contacting me too much. He is a nice person and I wish him well but it feels a bit claustrophobic at times. The others said goodbye and we are in touch here and there which seems appropriate but it seems this person wants to be in touch more regularly with me and I feel a bit trapped. I have other commitments and need to feel free. The same person does not believe in God and doesn't like anything mentioned about what he calls religion. I feel he is still drawn to the peace in me, but the too much contact us draining me and I sense it would lead to more involvement in the future. I feel a bit guilty and find it difficult to deal with these type of situations. It's not him, he is a nice person,it's the clingy spirit in him and I really do wish him well otherwise. I just want to protect my mental health as I hate feeling trapped. Thanks
