I set an intention for how I want to feel and remind myself that I’m allowed to leave when I’m ready

Keywords: Thoughts

I used to come home from social events and go straight to bed. Not because I hadn’t enjoyed myself — sometimes I had, genuinely — but because something about being around people left me needing to recover in a way that my non-empath friends simply didn’t understand. They’d want to keep the evening going, or debrief over the phone, and I’d be lying in the dark wondering when I’d feel like myself again.
