Been diagnosed with aspergers for about year and a half now. I'm 33. After days of seeing new people or being around people is kinda stressful and after a while i need a bit of me time... bit of winding down to relax. Music on and just listen for hours.. Feels good to just be me with music on. I can make myself feel grounded then and process things in my time.
The thing that bothers me is, if i don't have me time and leave it, i tend to get more and more moody and not wanna go out or do anything. Is this normal to feel like this? The less me time i have, i tend to feel more numb with emotions. Seems kind of selfish when reading it back. I don't like having to wind down to feel some sort of normal.
Anyone else like this.
Yeah, definitely! I'm not yet diagnosed but it's looking very likely and I need to have 'no people time' after spending time with friends and become emotional and irritable after being social for too long. At 23 years old this isn't something that should happen but sadly it is I think it can have a really negative effect on friendships as it means that one minute I can be happy and hyper but then the next minute I can just become quiet, irritated and closed off from everyone I can last longer in one on one social situations though as I guess it's easier and less stimulation...
Just like me. One moment i can be the life of the party with family and friends and sometime later im so quiet and feel low.
