It can be anything: at your job or any forced activity that you just don't feel like doing surrounded by other people. Visiting certain place, local, party, etc. It can be anything: at your job or any forced activity that you just don't feel like doing surrounded by other people.

I had to accompany my young brother to a small comic con thing a month ago and I was cringing HARD in that place I couldn't bear being there, I just kept my head down most of the time otherwise I would've just start laughing or rolling my eyes looking all that adult people dressed like it's a shitty Halloween party.

I think the worst is forced companionship, like getting together with a family for birthdays and stuff. The meaningless chit-chat... The being nice even though you know there are some that can't stand each other. Once you've had some unforced editions of these, like with friends or just people you get along with easily, it becomes blatantly obvious how uncomfortable it gets when it's forced.

I find human ceremony so strange @ times. I’m glad texting is an option now, but even then it’s like, eh 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don't want to celebrate my birthday, ever. I have 0 friends and my family caring about it makes even sadder, since I'm still living with my mother it can't be helped but that isn't going to change so I dunno what to do
