I’m a teacher and talk all day. By the time the weekend comes, I want to see nobody and sit in silence. Lololol….but I’m aware this is not great for my social life! I just wanted to know that I am not alone on this and how you all battle this feeling?

Great teachers do a lot more listening than they do talking. Get to know your students, understand how they learn, include them in creating the culture of your classroom. But always do more listening than talking. Always.

Thank you

I am for whatever works for you, so long as it's not harming anyone including yourself!

Thank you

You are a person that rejuvenates themselves in silence. While others need to be around people to feel energized. I’m like you, put me in a room, slide my food under the door and I’ll come out when I’m refreshed!!

I need my alone time

It wasn’t always great for my kids. My husband goes in to work when I get home. So all week, I go to work and then had the kids by myself…yes on the weekend I wanted to lock myself in my room - and put a mini fridge and tv in there lol

Now my kids are older so I can do that on weekends if I wanted- and yes, I get very lazy on the weekends :)

I am mostly the same way but if I am in a relaxed setting with other adults I am usually fine. Now if I have to spend significant amounts of time with children that are roughly the same age as those I teach... I start to lose it lol

Based on the amount of times you post on here per week it seems you still long for someone to talk to even when you aren’t at work.

Talking online is very different than the stresses of face to face. I can sit in my pjs and post here

I completely understand this. If I could just chill with my neighbor friends, watch some baseball while we order pizza and have a few drinks, I'd be much more likely to want to hang out. But, we have kids, and our kids are noisy lol. Just yesterday, my husband and older daughter went to hang with the neighbors after work, but I just kept my butt home to veg on the couch

Hi Fellow Moms/Wives!❤️
Very taboo question.

Anyone else have a hubby with a very low sex drive? I initiate most of the time and it really makes me feel neglected. I have talked to him about it but I think we just have different views on how to feel connected? I think once every 2 weeks is harsh. I prefer 3x-4x a week but he says that is a lot. Am I crazy to expect of this?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
