I am and always have been a social person
We’re hitting the peak of summer. Long nights out, partying with everyone you’ve ever heard of – and that’s a beautiful thing. But me, I’m exhausted, and I wish I had fewer friends.
In secondary school I made friends easily, slotting neatly between the jocks, the nerds and the artistic kids, able to make friends with them all. By my late teens, I was pouring pints and chatting to locals at the pub, learning more about adult life than I needed to know. Even now, in London, far from the sticks, it’s common for me to bump into friends when walking down the street, and for those with me to say, “you know everyone don’t you”.
I feel like I have no energy, my focus is completely shot, and I am starting to begrudge social occasions I should be excited about. Having too many friends is even ruining my alone time. On days I have alone, I want to do nothing but lay in bed – whereas normally I love being alone but being active, solo dining, having a walk.
