Social Exhaustion

Does any of you ever feel like at times you want to be by yourself? Even though you may love people, does sometimes being around them too much leave you to feel exhausted, I have wanted to talk about something that I don't know how many have the guts to talk about social exhaustion. I have most of my life struggled with social exhaustion.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           I love being around great and wonderful people, but sometimes people have moments where they just want to be alone for a short bit. I also have moments where I want to be around great and wonderful people, but I start to feel sad because most of the people that are great, are super busy, so most of the time I spent alone. I have found though in life that you don't want to be friends with just anybody, because if you settle out of desperation for a friendship, you could make the wrong kind of friend. I think that finding friends who have most to everything in common with you, are the right kind of friends to have.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             I know that sometimes everyone wants time to themselves, and I think it is great to have time to yourself, because then you can figure out who you are, which is the greatest thing about it. I don't know if any of you feel this way when you're social exhausted, but I tend to feel kind of crabby, annoyed sometimes for no reason, and even a bit guilty, because I know that the many friends that I have, I have so grateful for.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I remember that social exhaustion would start taking over my emotions, job performance, anxiety levels, and would leave me physically, emotionally, psychologically and even sadly spiritually tired. I still sometimes suffer from it, and I just do the best I can to look for ways to cope with it. Some of the ways I cope with it are this                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             1) Don't spend long periods around people too many days in a row. Spending time with someone too much can lead to burnout being around that person, even if you like that person. Of course do the best you can to control this.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   2) Find activities that you love to fill your time ( blogging, listening to music, writing, watching YouTube Videos, going out to eat, going to the mall, going to basketball games.                                                                                                                                                                                                   3) Prayer ( You have a Heavenly Father who loves you so much that He died for you. He died so that you can be forgiven of your sins, because whether you can admit it or not, we are all sinners and fall short in His glory. So pray to Him                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   4) Look for people who better you. I know why am I suggesting this when being socially exhausted, because when you're around someone who is positive and cheerful it is really helpful, and it can turn a bad or sad mood into a happy mood. Being around people who better you, can leave you a lot less tired, than being around someone who is negative, always depressed. Being around people who love the great things about you, makes this world a more joyful and better place.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 So has any of you ever suffered from social exhaustion? If you have, how did you deal with it? I think that just because you suffer from social exhaustion, it doesn't mean that you don't love people, because everyone needs a break and some time alone.
