I tried explaining to my mum that I can’t be around people all the time
and that when I’m forced to be around people beyond my limits, I get physically and mentally tired, not to mention very grumpy. more often than not, when this happens, I’ll head off to be by myself for a while.
and she was still all:
“you have to socialise with people! It’s not normal to feel this way”
“you can’t be by yourself all the time, it isn’t healthy”
Le Sigh
so I got a bit snappy, and said that it might not be normal, but it’s how I feel
so yeah
she was a bit miffed, but I think she got the message.
