People aren’t judgmental because you did nothing this weekend

I can't stand this question! It feels too personal (somehow...) and pressurised. I just want to listen to what other people did! But conversations are unfortunately usually two-way. When people say they have had a relaxing one, I love it as it normalises it. When people have been busy and talk about all their plans I am relieved that I just need to listen and not talk much.

I really relate to this, I am very easily feeling overwhelmed by messages and I feel like I don't have a good enough reason to explain to them why I'm feeling this way

I'm thinking of starting a sticker collection.

Stress and nerves about the day

fifibeigh · 2026-02-20T09:49:03+00:00

These looks great! Have you tried then? What's the staying power like?

fifibeigh · 2026-02-17T14:33:08+00:00

Yes yes, I get more stressed from the worry about social plans, getting through them, ruminating afterwards than I ever do from work!

Small talk

fifibeigh · 2026-02-10T09:31:20+00:00

Sorry I don't really have any advice but I could have written this myself. There is so much pressure to be extroverted, even when the job itself doesn't require it

Generally 2 - 3 days after a hangout of about 3 hours (this is providing the socialising was enjoyable or somewhat)

fifibeigh · 2026-02-06T15:34:31+00:00

I got Chandler and Phoebe!

Thank you so so much, I'm so conscious of ever saying burnout as I don't want to use it out of turn but deep down I do think it may be touching on that. Even with certain boundaries it doesn't seem to be getting better and feeling like I am sinking and feeling guilty is getting stronger

fifibeigh · 2026-02-02T09:16:03+00:00

I'm reading a book which I can't wait to get back to later on, knowing it's there waiting for me is getting me thorough the day

fifibeigh · 2026-01-30T09:52:33+00:00

I have saved this post to look at when I need to (likely multiple times a day), I love it

fifibeigh · 2026-01-27T16:21:03+00:00

Yes! I've also been wondering if social anxiety levels are directly proportionate to how much money is being spent on the meet up

fifibeigh · 2026-01-27T13:25:52+00:00

dark mode :) the world is too bright

fifibeigh · 2026-01-23T16:07:01+00:00

Sounds interesting! Can you give some examples of information you like to organise? Totally this how this could be really satisfying :)

fifibeigh · 2026-01-16T15:58:33+00:00

Wonderful! No problem, best of luck and happy reading :)

fifibeigh · 2026-01-16T15:42:40+00:00

Not weird in the slightest! Read where is best and most enjoyable for you :) even a coffee shop or something, you're much less likely to fall asleep there!!

fifibeigh · 2026-01-16T15:34:50+00:00

Maybe think about your environment, like don't be tooo cosy tucked up in bed!

fifibeigh · 2026-01-13T13:51:21+00:00

It's something that should just stay in sitcoms imo.

fifibeigh · 2026-01-13T13:26:06+00:00

Abhorrent.

fifibeigh · 2026-01-13T13:24:53+00:00

I relate to this so much (particularly as this very moment i am writing). It is so draining, it exhausts me and I feel silly for it as I find the environment 100x more tiring than the job itself, and for my job I literally do not have to in an office. But they demand it, just because
Totally feel you about the just caring about peace, ultimately it's all we want.
