I people-ed all day yesterday.
For real life.
The introvert that needs to not hear another person breathe for at least a decade has arrived.
The notifications have been turned off.
The stimulation is down to a minimum, and that’s still too much.
You're thinking too loud. I CAN HEAR YOU THINKING.
The likelihood that my hair might stand on end if anyone comes within a 10-foot radius of me is high.
Even my fingernails are socially exhausted.
My schedule is packed because I was out of the office yesterday, and this feels punitive.
I am physically here, but my social skills did not make the commute down the stairs and into the office today. They are still in bed.
Send noise-canceling headphones, a puppy to pet, a weighted blanket, and a crispy Coke. Rations are necessary to make it through the day.
