I totally 'get it' @kitkatb - I find socialising quite difficult too. You can only 'fake it til you make it' for 'so long'!
We are going to a dinner on Sat - and I am also not really looking forward to it. Tho i shall get thru it. I've become a real home body!
I am with you, @"Annie C" - where is my 'old self'? I could drive all day too - tho I must admit in recent years to preferring only 4-5hrs a day now, not 8-10 as in the old days! Yep - you were on Auto Pilot - cos it had to be done.
You wouldn't want to be a fly on the wall when those bloody nuisance calls come in ..... I am getting very short & sharp with them these days ....... F Off!
Take care everyone - specially if out driving over this silly season!! xxx
