Interesting, here was I during the last weeks, back into hiding and vaguely feeling annoyed with people, for no particular reason, but this is quite a good reason. Mix of feeling exhausted after trying to appear like a person for a while, and frustrated because others seem to profit and I just get tired. I'm learning to reduce my social interactions not to what I think is acceptable for others but to what is acceptable for me. Turns out I just want to see others maybe one or two times per week and often prefer one-to-one over group settings. My energy is returning to normal and I feel like myself again.
