Miswimmy1, if i were in your shoes i would just say you are having a hard time adjusting to the pressures of school and ask that others help you overcome the fast pace of it all. That is a good enough explanation without explaining why. I really dont understand the need of everyone having to know our business, and not all friends need to know it either. You are safe in establishing it as that and leaving it at that. Real friends do not pry or get invasive or nosey about others. This makes nice boundaries, safe ones and protects your privacy in the meantime. And it alleviates the need to explain yourself. It is good enough and i do believe more people do this than you would even know. tc and blessings! the best at school!
