Overstimulated

I think some people believe I’m starting to become antisocial these days. But no, I don’t hate anyone—I’m not the Grinch. I just need my space to unwind after long hours at work. Sometimes, that can take hours, days, weeks, or even months! To recharge, I sleep as much as I can and pamper myself with some much needed me-time.

While I understand the concern from those close to me, I can’t help but get irritated by the lack of understanding. Just because you’re used to getting attention from lots of people doesn’t mean it applies to everyone. Some of us just want to be left alone—especially when we’re exhausted and overstimulated.
