I struggled with this a lot early in my sitch. Try not to make knee jerk reactions if you can help it. I've done the thing where you make up your mind about something and then change it later, which only makes you look indecisive / weak and also just proves it was done for a response instead of for you. If you are trying to decide whether or not you can be friends, base that decision off your needs. Can you manage this without it hurting you?

Also, can you even make that decision today? I made a lot of decisions early on that had the best of intentions but weren't about my needs. If you don't know what those are yet, then its okay to be quiet until you do know.

Just my opinion.
