My wife and I were just talking about what it actually feels like to be peopled out (overstimulated from human interaction). We tend to experience this quite easily. This is how she feels.
I’m not a coffee drinker so I’ll have to trust you on this – hehe! For me, I think it’s like everything goes dull and it’s like looking and hearing through a fog no matter how much I want to engage.
I used to think I could just keep going – willpower. Part of me wants to keep going, too, but I’ve learnt to listen to those warnings and take time out.
To me it’s like a people hungover – i swear it’s the last time i ever meet anyone hahaha. And I’m dizzy with all the impressions and conversations and it won’t stop until I drop on the bed exhausted 馃檪
Omg yes!! This post made me smile; I thought I had been the only person to use the phrase “peopled out”, starting a couple years ago. Turns out that once again, I’m not alone! Thank you for this! I feel warm and fuzzy inside now 鉂わ笍

Hi Juni. Yes, I get that way when I’m still in the thick of noise and people.

Good to know I’m not the only one. It’s definitely my warning sign to myself that I need time alone.

I hate getting to that point, but sometimes you just can’t help it in a given situation.
