I wish people could understand that it’s not just a matter of if I’m busy or available to hang out, it also matters if I have the fucking energy. And if I’ve spent my entire week socializing I’d like at least one day to myself to recharge and relax.

I just say I’m not available and don’t elaborate. If I have to I’ll say it’s a family thing or whatever

I’ve had to explain this to people over and over again. Even my best friend since preschool. She made me feel bad about not wanting to come over and be in a room full of people I don’t know because “I have a job where I talk to people all day so I should be fine.” I work in healthcare where I work with people one on one and talk about my special interest all day 🙄 some people will just never understand
