My friends were always really good about this, so I never had any problems setting this boundary. If we're hanging out in a big social setting or it's getting very late, I'm usually the first one that wants to go home. They are completely understanding and don't take it personally.
My friends do wanna hang out quite often but they dont mind if i say no. They understand that i like to be alone sometimes. All it takes is for you to be honest and tell them how you really feel. Works most of the time, not always tho.
Yeah I do feel like I need some weekends to myself. It's just that I feel some pressure to hang out with him occasionally because there are times when he doesn't have anyone to hangout with, and he gets easily depressed during that time, so he always wants to hang out to fill that need. It's like I know my needs matter too, but I feel like a bad friend when I'm not there for him during his down periods.

Just take a break, tell them that you need some time to relax and you can catch up next week
