Went to the cinema last night, I’m the easy one to spot, I’m the one who sits turned away from the person next to them, I sort of sit on one side of me, can manage my wife sitting on my other side. Having a stranger sitting next to me for three hours has left me drained. I haven’t been able to talk yet, We came home last night, my wife went to bed, I had to sit on my own with my arms wrapped around the sides of my head. I feel like my ‘ spidey senses’ are in overdrive.
Its always been the same, trains and theatre cause the same affect. The underground is worse, I struggle to understand how having people near to me is so draining. It’s like they are radioactive and pulling the energy out of me, I know I’m going to have to mask heavily this morning so not to cause an argument with my wife and make it all about me. Is this something that anyone else relates to, or is it just weird me?
Hey good job though mate, you did it that's an accomplishment you can be proud of
I couldn't go to the cinema. I last went with my sister, she wanted to see the latest Star Wars and it was her birthday so I went with her. It was hell. Packed, could hardly breathe in there. I found the screen too bright for my liking, ended up wearing my sunglasses and the sound was too loud. I avoided a meltdown in there but in the car before we got on our way I broke down. I've not been back since.
I avoid public transportation at all costs. That's why I learnt to drive, public transportation makes me too anxious to use. Driving can be stressful but at least it's only me, no strangers.
