Does anyone else just want some fucking peace & quiet?

[TomAllenWife]

Not sure if it's my age or I'm just a miserable cow?

Worked all week, talking to people all day as well as lots of loud OTT chat in the workplace

Out Friday night at a social event

Family over yesterday, couldn't read the room and just carried on drinking

I would just like to be fucking left alone, I want to potter about the house, fanny about on my phone and not speak!

Is it just me?

Definitely not just you

What's stopping you?

Yes, most of the time that is all I want!

Absolutely! I space my arrangements out these days for that reason. Not just you, OP.

I'm wondering if it's a menopausal thing

It's fairly new to me feeling like this as me & DP are very sociable (although I'm an extrovert introvert 😂 I could quite happily spend a week ion my own somewhere or with DP who also doesn't feel the need to fill up every space with mindless chatter

Oh jeez with the meno thing! Maybe it's actually just a human thing and we all crave a bit of peace and quiet from time to time.

Oh I’m so glad it’s not just me! I’m so fucking bored of making conversation. An hour and a half is my limit these days. I’ve also wondering if it’s a menopause thing. My mum loves a chat though (and has obv gone through the menopause). Maybe this is a phase?

same OP. I get home from a 13 hours day at work and immediately get talked at! Today I am all alone and it's just me, my coffee, my laptop (holiday planning) and my garden. Bliss.

@Reedplayer yeah but my mother likes talking at people, she has no intention of listening

Maybe after we've been through this phase we'll start talking at people about random people they don't know 😂

@UpUpUpU oh that sounds wonderful

I’m the same.

@TomAllenWife oh god….why do they do this?!

I’ve had a month of socialising, and it’s been lovely, but I’m done.

I’m absolutely depleted to the point of actually feeling a bit ill.
