I get like that quite often when my usual alone time is disturbed for whatever reason. I spend large swaths of my time alone, so it doesn't come up as often as it used to. However, not too long ago my SO lost his job suddenly and that threw all my schedules into chaos. I kept having to remind myself that he was feeling a lot of stress at the time too so I tried to be as patient as I could be. I felt so unreasonable when all I wanted to do was shout at him to get out of the house and leave me alone. Normally I love spending time with him, but that period where I never got a break was hugely trying for both of us. Luckily he found a new job after only a week, but I'm sure we were both glad to get back to a normal schedule. He was pretty understanding of how poorly I handled everything, he's really the best. Having someone who understands that you want to be alone and helps facilitate your alone time is really the best thing to combat social exhaustion.

Something I have observed about myself throughout the years.

I get days occasionally where I would go into a shell, end up not wanting to talk to anyone, where I would rather sit in a room on my own, if I am in a place with people around I either have my phone out or might read something so I am not disturbed. When I am like this I am prone to losing my temper at people.

Like I said when this happens it would last a few days and then when I snap out of it the only way I can describe it it is like coming out of a tunnel.

Does anyone else get days like that.
Days like that? Days?!
I hardly ever feel that way at home, but my entire life that is pretty much how I have felt everywhere else. The only thing that has changed is that as a kid I would just daydream instead, in adult years I make sure to discourage people by wearing headphones and prop up a book in front of me when I can.
