Being drained by talkative people

Post Reply New Topic

I seldom "talk".

I just keep sharing information in order to get each other's opinions. This is usually in text form, either on paper or through e-text.

But when I am able to drain the energy (and our time) of an interested Aspie so that he often had to rest for two days, I began to ponder whether I had gone too far.
Before that, it is obvious that I have troubled many NTs as my friends.

I can relate!
I also find Group Chats (whatsapp) very exhausting.
Everyone is talkative, sharing funny things, smiles, planning group activities all the time ecc.

I find myself shutting the phone off some hours until i feel more relaxed, and i may never reply or even forget about the subject of discussion.

Yes. Always. My mother in law drones on and on never letting you speak. And if you do get to say something she doesn’t even listen and just goes back to rehashing stories she’s already told me ten times

Sometimes on the train on the way to the slave plantation, someone is screaming or playing loud music and I get a headache and I have to move to the next train. However there are only so many trains, and there are plenty of annoying customers

The Litterbox at work is like an (echo chamber). Loud talking, loud music, loud hand dryer. Confined location.

Sensory overload

And then sometimes precious lil "people" have the nerve to bother me. A couple of weeks ago, a day laborer had the nerve to scream "chino" at me from across the parking lot.

Sometimes they demand an answer, to unjustified questions.
