I wish I could know how much of this is innate vs a response to the world we live in. The whole situation with politics is the biggest thing making me feel exhausted. Add in obnoxious ads everywhere we turn, lack of free third spaces to go to, and the need to work as much as we do just to afford our basic needs... Hell yeah, I'm tired all the time!
I'm sure I'd want to hang out alone and decompress a lot even in the best of worlds, but over the past decade or so I've been feeling more and more of the need to hermit away.
