I often find myself staying longer than I should, even when I have important things to do. I don’t stop to think, ‘I should leave now,’ and even after I leave, I keep thinking about the time I lost and feel distracted, how do i prioritize myself ?
How can I learn to prioritize myself and my responsibilities, especially when I’m around people?

Fuck you other people, I’ve got me shit to do!
I struggle with this too, I have come to a point where I’m just learning how to have and enjoying having good and healthy friends who love me
I find myself indulging in spending time with people as much as possible, and I often struggle with “getting on to myself” for “wasting” time when I have homework and a job to tend to
There’s 2 things I keep in mind when I find myself spiraling like that,
If it’s important enough you will know when it’s time to leave and you will leave accordingly. Making a schedule for yourself can help “calculate” your priorities
Time with your friends is time investing in yourself. You cannot be a 100% work oriented creature, our minds and souls need the human connection. Some need it more than others. Some need it more in certain times of their lives. There’s no shame or regret had in spending time with ppl you enjoy being around. One day you won’t have them anymore, and you’ll find yourself with an excess of time to do work
Just my thoughts

Just fucking do it. Stop being an indecisive squish and just do what you want.
Why can’t you just leave. 99% of my social interactions are just me trying to find a reason to leave.
I try to check in with myself, ask -what do I want right now? Then let the answer dictate my actions
It’s hard to do when you don’t have a connection with yourself, or know who you are. But it can be learned
