So basically I hang out with friends right but in the middle of the hang out i don’t know how to describe it but i just want to be alone but i also don’t know how to tell my friends and i mostly just leave abruptly and i don’t know how to stop doing that
Dear @resilientacorn8031
Thank you for reaching out and describing your distress. I can see that you are searching for an explanation for the reason you are feeling overwhelmed all of a sudden. I sense that this overwhelm may be driving your behaviour of taking flight abruptly while with your friends.
May I gently recommend you speak to a counsellor on this. The counsellor can help you safely trace when this urge to leave started, what are activities your group does which you do not like, are there friends in the group you do not feel safe with or if you have a preference to recharge alone before hanging out with friends. With greater self awareness, you will then be able to be more selective in choosing how you spend your time.
What you shared is relatable to many of us so you are definitely not alone in this. With greater awareness, and some trial and error you will be able to find the right mix of group and solo activities you need that help you thrive.
