Sometimes I have noticed that communicating, especially around another physically, is extremely draining for me and really takes something of a toll. I guess everybody has times where they need to isolate themselves a little to recover, but what means of getting away from being social would you call extreme? I have never lost my voice, though it has come close, but lately it has been coming to mind that 'losing my voice' for a day, if only pretend, would be helpful in escaping communication and taking time to be in my head rather than where I actually am sometimes. Does anyone think this is a bad idea I'm not too sure how it might seem in the views of others? It sounds selfish, I just need to be 'away' for a while and it seems the only way.
