Please keep inviting your disabled/chronically ill friends to things. We can't always come, but it means a lot to know we're still wanted.

My social circle has dwindled *dramatically* since I got sick, and the pandemic cut off 80% of what remained.

Even if I say no a lot it doesn't mean I never want to come. In fact, it means I want to see people more, when I'm able.

@Rhube thank you for this. I am in the same situation, made worse by COVID because I will probably never feel safe around crowds or strangers again. At first, I was ashamed to cancel so often. Then, I learned to say, "I want to be there and will be if my health allows." Like you, it feels good to be invited with this understanding.
