Why I Don’t Go Out More

These riots after the Knicks won the NBA Championship honestly gave me an answer to a question I've been asking myself for years. Why don't I go out more? Why don't I do more things? Why do I spend so much time at home? Well, I think I found my answer. Because of shit like this.

I think I hit my social limit today.

Between a bunch of phone calls and DMs and getting sunsick this past weekend, including yet another phone call to get my benefits sorted because my representative has been AWOL for over a month now, I sort of went into turtly hermit mode and watched Smosh for most of the afternoon. It was nice.

@wendynather @hosford42 I quite agree! I’ve been thinking it’s the Autism that leads me to social exhaustion and my ADHD that loops through all the things to remind me what went wrong. LOL

Whatever the combination, I agree these likely aren’t mutually exclusive. We experience both.

Mentioning #introversion is interesting as I ID’ed this way before Autism + ADHD diagnosis.Not mutually exclusive but overlapping signals.

Psychologists say people who need to be alone after socializing aren't recharging from exhaustion. Their brains are doing post-processing work on every emotional signal they absorbed, and the more empathetic someone is, the longer that processing period takes.

Wow, am I peopled out. I am only willing to acknowledge the dogs and maybe the microwave timer right now. Everybody else, it is gonna be a hard pass.

No TV tonight (people), no social media (people) no phone calls (my God, no). No music (people), no audible books ( no people's voices). No, I say no. No peopling. No people-ishness. Ixnay on the eople-pay.

Honestly, I get Luke Skywalker.
