Does anyone else find it difficult to be around people who are go, go, go, perky, perky, perky and don't give you a chance to catch your breath and come up with an appropriate response. Sometimes it's the same f* question asked 20 times as if the more they ask the more likely they are to get a response. Situations like this make me fall deeper into depression, I feel I need to sneak around to avoid the barrage of questions. Why can't they leave it alone to once a day? If they don't get the answer, try the next day. I wish I could explain to them in a manner they would understand that they are only making the situation worse.

I find it absolutely exhausting to be around most people, to act normal, to socialize is like a chore to me. I feel like I have to try 100 times harder to keep up. Perky people are especially difficult for me, I just don't have the energy or ability to relate or handle them.

We have to try to be understanding of them/accept them if we expect them to be understanding of us, our depression and so on.

I've gotten to the point where I have isolated myself pretty good to avoid people, I don't suggest this. As much as I don't want to be around people I still become severely lonely.

Just try to be patient with them and understand they are different than you, that is all we can do.

Do you not like people asking you questions? What kind of questions bother you? Or is more so that the sanguine people highlight something you don't like in yourself? I don't know if that makes any sense, sorry.

It's someone asking the same question twenty times a day, for example, I sent mu landlord rent direct from my account to his account. I tell him this the first time he called, then for the next 19 times he calls asking where his money is. Pardon the language but how the f* am I suppose to know where in the electronic transfer the money happens to be. My anxiety skyrockets when people do this. Why can't they accept that as soon as I have an update I will let them know, and that in the meantime there are no updates except my anxiety is sky high.
Hope it answers your question.
