My friends wanted to go to a friend's home and stay there all night watching movies. I declined once I realised I would have to stay there until morning. My sister doesn't get it, she tells me I'm just making excuses and that "I don't want to go" is not a valid reason. Sure, it has a lot of reasons behind it, but my sister only sees them as excuses, so I'm not even going to bother telling them since I've never told anyone about them.
Those reasons are: no food around, always spend the whole night hungry; my stomach starts making all kinds of weird sounds because I'm hungry; paruresis may make it complicated if I can't pee since I would have to wait until morning; my stomach/bowels hurt after ~4hours, whether I eat or not; sometimes I get random pain in my body that can only go away after being in really awkward positions for some minutes (last time it happened was yesterday); I don't really want to watch those movies; I can't fall asleep while watching movies like she does; since everything is quiet, those sounds I make make me feel embarrassed or sometimes I try to control them which results in more stomach/bowel pain.
So yeah, these are my real reasons, but she would only see them as excuses.
