because they appear to be clueless.

You can reiterate that at the moment you do not have the funds to come to them, but more importantly, you've gotten the impression that you have bored them. You've noticed that when you are with them they do not seem interested in hearing how you are, and due to your $$ situation, you really need someone to talk to, so you are concerned that you won't be enjoyable company.

(I suggested you phrase it as your problem because it gives them an opportunity to save face.)

Good luck!
