I haven’t sought any assessment for this stuff, but I have my hunches. So I don’t know if this is a thing, but every single time I appear clean and normally dressed, saying things that are agreeably sane and charming, and not talking about one topic at length or being super quiet, it is always because I have decided it is necessary.
Username checks out. I find that better situational control has come with age, for me. I sure can put on the charm and be sociable, but it’s contextual. I can function well at work, as I’ve developed a “work persona” that helps keep me on the level, but once I’m clocked out it’s a different ballgame. I have to conserve my effort for the times I most need to focus, and doing the thing that brings me income, well, that’s a top priority. I spend a lot of “time off” alone recharging.
Can I ask if there’s a diagnosis paired with that struggle? The worksona thing is highly relatable, I’ve worked at the same place since 2017 and none of them know who I am at home
So I need to make up a song about that, too? Because I will if I’m forced but I’ve shared some of the same struggles so I might have some big feelings while doing it. And I’m not a fan of big feelings.
