Don't you hate it...

[Kandy-Sugar]

Don't you hate when you feel like you have to do something?

Your friends call and you feel like you have to pick up the phone, or you get invited out somewhere and you'd really rather stay at home but feel obligated to attend whatever event it may be?

This last week I've been in a bit of a 'can't be bothered' mood in real life. I've been so busy with work that the last thing I want to do is answer the phone and talk for who knows how long, when I'd rather be in bed.

And I just don't feel like talking with any of my real life friends at the moment, just because I'm not in the best mood to be conversing and I don't want to come off as rude.

Sometimes all I want is me time, and to just sit in my own little world without having to do too much. Basically, I like being a hermit sometimes. >.<

We're off to our friends today and it was actually organised by Steve and my best friends boyfriend (who are also friends) and I really don't want to go but at the same time I don't want to seem like I'm being rude by not going.

Do you find yourself in these kind of situations?
Do you just put on a happy face for the day, even if you'd rather not be there?

I try to act happy whenever I'm out but would rather not be, but sometimes it just doesn't work. >.<

That doesnt happen to me anymore,i would use to go to places by force with a mask on,and my friiends would know that somethings up with me,which they possibly know.

I feel your pain. It doesn't happen very often but I do know the feeling. Sometimes whenever I don't feel like doing something I just get a feeling that I should do it, not because I have to but because something just keep telling me to do it. When this happens I usually go with my instincts and go anyway although sometimes nothing of particular interest happens.

Like for example, my brother wanted me to visit him a few weeks ago. I didn't really feel like going but I just had a feeling that I should go. Nothing happened as expected.

I know exactly what you mean. Just last week, I was coughing really bad and felt crappy that I just wanted to stay home all day. I was playing Uncharted 2 with Kaylee (DeadFantasy) around 8 PM my time and my friends, husband, and siblings-in-law wanted me to go out with them to visit this little Japanese store nearby. I didn't wanna go so I told them that I really wanted to stay home...and play UC2. But anyway, it was cool with everyone, so they left, and I was left by myself. It was great being alone - reminds me of the time when I was a teenager and all I did was stay in my room and just be by myself. I like being a hermit at times.

So then 45 minutes later I got a call from my sister-in-law, "Hey we're all going to dinner 'coz we're super-hungry, so we were all wondering if you wanted to join us?" Well at that point, I really didn't wanna be rude even though I was enjoying my game of UC2, so I said I'll go and meet them up front. I stepped outside and my cough actually got worse due to the night air and my lungs were reacting quite aggressively that I just felt horrible all night even though I tried to keep my spirits up for everyone at a Denny's restaurant.

I mean, I get what your saying and all when you say you don't want to come off as rude but at the same time, it's best to say no.

I don't think it's happened to me recently however, I do think i've been in a similar situation.

I do like going out with family and friends an whatnot but, I do like being to myself as well. Gives me time to think

I remember one time I went to a carnival with my buddies and omg, it was sooo much walking around! I mean, it was fun but I was so tired and I wanted to go home and sleeeeep. But, my friends insisted that we should stay a bit longer. So, even though I was tired, I stayed longer. Boy was I sore the next day >_>
I didn't wanna be called like a party-pooper or anything and don't get me wrong, iit was a grat time I just could've done without the stay and instead gone home and rest.

Ahh I do every so often, when I just can NOT be arsed doing anything other than spending time with myself, I mean, its not liek I dont even HAVE loads of 'me time' but sometimes, I really just can't be bothered with the socialising and making conversation...

though tbh, once ive got past the initial 'cant be bothered' stage and im doing wehatever it is i cant be bothered with, im usually ok.... though once or twice ive been like, i just want to go hommmmmeeeee

This happened to me the other day when I reformatted my computer. I knew I had to do something, I didn't know what, but I know that it had to be done. People would try to talk to me, but I Was too damned busy trying to figure out what it was I was supposed to be doing. o_o

Then I realized that I was just paranoid because with the reformat, I couldn't find a lot of my stuff. However, when I found it, it all went away.

Yeah, I get you. Had one of them days just last week. My brother and his girlfriend were going to see Alice & Wonderland and my family were pestering me to go. Said it would be nice for me, but no I didnt want to. Same with Wednesday when I went to a band night with my best 2 girls. And I felt shitty. I didnt wanna go, but had promised I would go. Felt rotten all night.
