I find people to be ruthlessly demanding and intrusive. All this unspoken social lore that we're expected to just know and not question. It's exhausting and overwhelming. I understand how it works but I struggle to rise to people's expectations without exerting myself to the point of defeat. I do what needs to be done in order to maintain a certain amount of peace and acceptance but that's it. The rest is bullshit.
My withdrawal more or less equates to "Fuck off and leave me alone. I'll do it myself."
