I love my friends and family, but lately I’ve been craving distance and not because anything’s wrong, but because I feel overwhelmed just being around people. I feel guilty even thinking that way. Is this normal? Is there a way to ask for space without making it sound like rejection?
Is it normal to want distance from people you care about?

Try therapy
I think it’s normal. I have those moments too. It usually happens after I’ve spent a lot of time around ppl like a party or concert
It’s normal to need space, even from loved ones.
Try saying, “I need some time to recharge, but I care about you.” People usually get it, and it helps you show up better later
It’s very common. Not everyone needs to be surrounded by people all the time.
