I can't stand people anymore.

Yeah but I mean, what counts as "typical"? Maybe I'm typical only I'm going through something I can't handle.

Sensory overload. Yes, maybe. All sounds annoy me right now. Everything annoys me right now. Unfortunately I can't stay with my boyfriend. We're doing long-distance for a few months. I think I'll go to a quiet pub somewhere and drink a bit. I really don't feel like it right now, but I'd rather do that than being here. Unfortunately (and this is what I'm most anxious about when it comes to tonight) people will probably still be here when it's time for me to come back here. What do I do then? There will be people where I'm supposed to sleep. I don't want to socialise with them.

That's okay. Just answer whenever you can and only if you want to.

Did you survive last night?

I'm still breathing so yes. Although tonight's not any better. One of the girls living here is going to Paris tomorrow. It's 12.45am and she hasn't packed her bags or figured out how to get to the airport. So she turned on all the lights (when I was trying to fall asleep) and started packing. Then she sort of woke me up and wanted to borrow my laptop to book a train ticket to the airport. Hasn't she heard of a thing called planning?! I don't know, I think I'll punch something soon. I have to get up to uni in 6 hours and she's not done packing and making noises yet. Still haven't been able to properly be by myself either. I think this whole situation (staying here etc) is getting really ridiculous and I can't stand it. Getting angrier by the minute. Is that wrong?

by the sounds of it I still can't see how moving to a quieter house could be a much worse idea than staying where you are.

Well, I'm moving to my own room in a dormitory on Saturday next week.

Your thought processes are NOT a consequence of conscious change. You process information in a another way(more than likely due to how your brain is wired as others have mentioned) which results in a different perception.

It effects everything to one degree or another.

I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm saying that often-times you are going to be perceived as being wrong IF your thinking is in the minority.

It depends upon the circumstances.

I would be beyond annoyed at this point, and I am fairly even-tempered.

Just get through it. Keep focusing on the fact that soon, you will be able to leave.

When i started university I also had my own room but it didnt protect me from jerk-housemates. You will still have to use the communal spaces during mealtimes and for me thats when it was difficult not to get invested in their social crossfire.

Letting the university choose your housemates for you is similar to playing Russian Roulette. For me it didnt work, and at best i was having to deal with noise and at worst I was having to deal with bullying and harrassment. During the peak of my maltreatment Some as*hole filled my keyhole with superglue and prevented me from opening my door. I was forced to break the door down, and without the benefit of a lock as the university facilities staff took their time to replace it some of my belongings went missing when i attended lectures.

Thats just my experiences, i hope it works better for you.

I'm not completely sure what you mean. Do you mean it's "normal" for me to react to these things this way but others might think I'm the one who's wrong?



Saturday next week can't come soon enough. I almost wish I'd have a meltdown. I need to make room for more emotions. Do you know what I mean?



That's terrible. Sorry you had to go through that. I've been a bit worried about bullies as well. I hope I don't run into any.

I can't stand people either and I'm too introvert to do anything about it
