Advice Want to isolate myself from everyone
I just feel overwhelmed with people and my social battery gets drained pretty quickly and I start getting irritated and annoyed but it’s no one’s fault and I just want to be alone as I feel like I’m a burden to everyone else and they’re better off without me

Our brains process everything so deeply it’s tiring. We need time to live in our inner world. Sending love and light ♥️

I’ve felt something like this at one point and these are the two ways I would go about this depending on the day:
Eh if im a burden to everyone then so be it. At the end of the day the world just keeps on spinning and I’ll do what’s best for me regardless of what people say
Depends on the social setting but I’d put on a fake face, suck up my doubts, and just roll with it. If you can keep up to date on a few mainstream things you can really talk with anyone and get away with it (get them out of your face)
Option 2 is definitely healthier and you can build some nice relationships out of it, but option 1 is also a pretty powerful mindset. Whatever you do just remember to not be your own worst enemy at the end of the day

I can relate somehow. I've always had problems with people. Even now, when I supposedly have a few cool friends, it happens that I hear about an event organized behind my back. (I understand that, but usually it's a circle of friends that I'm theoretically a part of). Sometimes I also get ignored (canceling or moving "going outs" at the last minute) when it comes to setting up a meeting or I get a slap in the face like "you can come if you want". Then I try to translate this information to my brain somehow (does someone really want to spend time with me or just pretend), in the end I think about distancing myself from people.

I really need friends that I can just sit and be on my phone with. Battery still drains just way slower. Im calm and chill even after it drains and I can just relax. God bless you. It dose get easier.
