Sorry if questions like this have been touched on before.. but I was wondering, does anyone else have a hard time balancing a social life with your interests?
I mean, sometimes I want friends and to socialize, go out and do things, but when I'm given the opportunity to I can't seem to balance my own life and interacting with others (anxiety aside, I mean people I'm more comfortable with).
For instance, say a friend wanted to do something, and I feel like, well, I need to practice piano for a few hours, read, make food, do chores, tend to my guinea pig, and just basic living things take up so much of my time and mind that I can't incorporate other people, and if I try to I get the feeling they think I'm rigid or something..
Does anyone identify with this or anything?
