Im a social recluse, but a functional one. ☝️
It’s difficult because my social battery drains quickly. So I’ve learned that I don’t do well sharing my space with others for too long.
I work closely with others at work. I cope with it by making trips to the printer room or the bathroom. Those few minutes alone feel like cocaine bliss. I lose the tension in my neck, shoulders relax and breathing becomes comfortable.
I don’t hate people. I get along with nearly everyone I meet. It’s the part where I have to really spend time with them that I fail.
How do you think I should approach this?
This feels like crippling anxiety, do any of you relate?
Thanks for reading.
