I'm frustrated even though I had a fun day

I went to a fair or amusement park? [Spanish: una feria] and I had a lot of fun but the moment I got home I started overthinking and became frustrated. I'm new here btw. Just decided to join this community cause I want to talk I guess. Crazy things happen in my life a lot and these recent years I've been horrible at dealing with these things. Anyway I guess I'm a bit frustrated because I felt like I wasn't fully there? Like I was there enjoying myself and talking and laughing but I also found myself zoning out a lot and feeling out of place. Like I was there for a while then I wasn't. I also felt ignored sometimes? Idk I'm just kinda rambling at this point. I guess I was frustrated cause I was like not fully there when I should've. We haven't gone in a fair for years and we finally were able to. I really enjoyed it. Had lots of fun but I just kept zoning out and feeling out of place. It's not like my family members did anything wrong it just kept happening. Sorry if this is just a weird post

    It does sound like the zoning out might be an unconscious coping strategy to deal with the situation and give you a break from taking in all the sights/sound/smells. I wouldn't feel bad on yourself for doing it, if it was somewhere you wanted to go.

    Though as Iain points out, you have to work out if you wanted to go, or just feel you had to go and that feel you should have had fun. If you can work that out, it helps you understand yourself!

    Hope you are feeling better!
