Do you get a headache after socialising all day?

[ALLDAYGLOWRANDY]

No, meditation makes the speach, the jokes, and certain other strange things.  I might be psychic or something.  I know that I am not constipated, so I am not toxic inside, because that would make such thoughts.   I eat only healthy food, because I  got sick of certain things.

I might be psychotic or something.

I think its hard for a lot of 'normal' people to understand that some of us like being isolated.

Yeah thats true. They think 'fixing' is required.

I like my alone time. When there's no one around to get the wrong end of the stick.

What exactly is fixing?


What I see is someone having an operation. Now that's fixing.

Everyone has things they need to work on. If fixing is where you are working on something to be a better person, then everyone needs fixing.

Think about some of the people you know. I think we all know some control freaks who are constantly trying to make things around them fit their personal molds.
If I was such a control freak or co-dependent type, I would not be satisfied to allow you to live your life your way. I could not feel good about myself, until I "help you get better."  I would have to make you act or live just "like me" or at least the way I expect you to act, so you can be "fixed."  If you are not exactly like I expect you to be, then I must "fix"  you.
I fucking hate people like that!

There is quite a difference in actually helping people and "fixing"  them. Helping someone is about the person who needs help. Fixing someone is about the person doing the "fixing."

And do you know who some of the biggest "fixers" are. That's right folks, evangelists. I don't mean the ones who lead by example but the ones who tell us that everything we're doing is wrong and they are the only ones who know what's right for us.

My social contact is limited to between 1-3 hours a day which is nice.

My social contact is limited to between 1-3 hours a day which is nice.

That does sound good as long as when it's 3 hours it's not all at once,  I can get real jumpy after even a constant fifteen minutes

I know what that is like. I was invited to a friend's 50th birthday party the other day. There were over 30 people there. Almost killed me.

Depends on the day.
Today socialising with my own teen, trying to wake the other, attempts to make phonecalls and an email contact was enough for a headache.
I will have some more social interaction today.

Sometimes I even get a headache the next morning from medicating myself for the headache from the previous day.

Seriously...my SO is a poster child for adult ADHD...my son has those issues and more...basically both jump from subject to subject and pace back and forth like rats in a cage if they don't have something to do or somewhere to go. Winter is fucking hell around here when you get 2 ft of snow and everyone is trapped inside. 

Rest of the relations are nuts...other people seem to seek me out for advice frequently with their problems, I hide, but somehow they find me...20 more years of this and if I'm not careful I'm going to be batshit insane in some dementia ward.

  I'm very social at work and I love it, but then I get to go home alone and recharge in solitude. 


   Going out socially after work is more of a problem.  After a couple of hours I'm ready to go home! 

[Icequeen]

Dealing with too many people lately...too much shit to be done.

I really, really hate peopling...and I've been peopling a lot...with more peopling scheduled. 

['andersom']

I like people. Well not all of them, but I do like people. But, in moderation.
Wine is easy to be moderate in. But people, they force themselves on me with obligatory appointments and meetings. Too many of those again, lately. Even had to cancel my dentist appointment because others forcing themselves upon me as more important.

 

Yes, I do get socialising induced headaches.

 

[renaeden]

I had a headache after the 3 hour networking class I had this afternoon. Took something for it and now I feel ok.

['andersom']

Started the day with a big headache. Pretty sure it had to do with social obligations of the day before.

[odeon]

It's great to work from home. Just sayin'.

[Icequeen]

Basically I am a re-seller, or the geek the neighbors call when stuff breaks, and I don't leave the house much. 

But the last two months I'm dealing with phone calls, meetings, and secretarial duties trying to get stuff lined up with the kid.

SO was "handling it" because I "am a dingbat" according to him and my MIL.  I am more than happy to stay out of the picture, contribute from the sidelines, and remain quiet to reinforce that whenever possible...because I've found over the years it's a lot less stressful....and I really, really hate the phone.

...but then sometimes, someone "needs to meet me"...and they ask me a question (while I try to hide in the chair farthest away), they discover I have a brain...and then shit goes south.
