Noticed I strugel with socilising more than once a week if I'm in a situation where I'm having to socilise more than once it just physically and mentally shatteres me. Come Christmas we have Christmas Eve where we socilise Christmas day then boxing day then shoot day and there's even a party after that usually. I have to sit certain events out as I personally find the socilising to much and need to retreat to my own space or literally nap it off anyone ellse the same on this?
Exactly the same. I just end up completely burnt out when I need to socialise more than once in a couple of weeks or so, it's all too intense. Then, of course, there is the added feeling of feeling like the worst person in the world because you don't want to do anything. For years I have moulded to everyone elses expectations and I just want a year for myself, where I can relax and not worry about social events. Maybe next year.
Yeah like you feel bad for it even though you know it's your Autism not you just not wanting to be with family. I like to see people but on my own terms don't like being dictated when I should see people and socilise hence why the idea of a relationship on top of that would be my idea of hell even though I don't want be alone as H said catch 22 stick between a rock a hard and place with it. Hence why I got the hell rune on my tatt lately because my autism is my hell for this reason
I understand what you mean. I need breaks in between doing things as I also find it exhausting. I guess it's about finding a balance that works..... I get it.
