God I feel like such a brat even saying any of this because I’m so lonely and isolated most of the time. I feel like I shouldn’t be complaining about any of the human interactions I get to have, regardless of the quality. But I know that isn’t true. I have to guard my mental and emotional health as much as my physical health.

So. How do I tell someone I don’t have the capacity in my life for drama without being really really rude?

I can’t be friends with somebody that I’m constantly on edge with because the tension makes me physically sick. I just want to cut the person off immediately without a word, which I know is not the right thing to do.

So how do you tell someone that they are just too intense of a person for you to be around? Or do you make something else up?
