Feeling Anti-Social

[Daphnesmate02]

I'm pretty sure I'm knee deep in the peri-menopause.

I can't take hrt for various reasons.

Apart from a myriad of symptoms, I am also feeling anti-social. I know I need to make an effort to contact the few friends I do have but I feel so irritable. I also get frustrated as it feels as if I make most of the effort to get in touch. I'm uncertain whether I've outgrown these friends or whether I am just feeling irritable. I am still eager to contact one friend with whom I share an interest.

At the same time, I still feel motivated to meet new people (when covid eases) mainly in connection with the couple of hobbies I have.

Anyone else feeling they are having difficulties socially? Apart from the obvious which is covid - I mean making the effort to communicate etc. Or perhaps it is the fact I have become less tolerant of mediocre relationships? Anyone?

Just writing that has made me realise how irritable I am.

Perhaps it is the case, that I now wish to invest more in my friendships, not less.

A couple of my friends seem to have lots of friends (naturally, they are nice people) and I am one of many. Plus a bit of re-evaluation going on maybe?
