Do you feel guilty if others around you are tired and you're not? (1 Viewer)

[litc]

Today, I was actually so exhausted I wanted to pass out. So exhausted I couldn't stand up straight with my backpack on, so exhausted I could barely lift my spoon to eat lunch, and my arms were shaking just doing that. So exhausted and weak, I didn't even want to eat, because of the effort and wanted to just pass out, but I had to. I even had to delay my plans so I could eat because I was feeling so weak and didn't want to be, and eating took me longer than planned because of the above. Tbh that's something that was really hard for me to admit and do because being physically weak is one of my least favorite feelings ever, I can't stand it, and I've always been very into physical strength, toughness, fitness, health, etc. since I was an actual toddler, it's a very big part of me and my personality, and I like that it is

I would take a nap now, but I have so much to do, and I always sleep longer than I want and just end up feeling guilty, and I have too much energy now to sleep anyway (huh? yeah that's what I mean)

But anyway, just a few hours after that, I go back to being energetic and smiling. I could run 2 miles rn and still be smiling after if I wanted to, That much energy. And I was really hungry. I didn't even eat much, and my stomach was audibly growling and everything.

From wanting to pass out and not being able to lift up a spoon without shaking to this? This is just ridiculous at this point.

I mean I've always had more energy and stamina than peers, but this is ridiculous. And I had someone in the same boat as me with exhaustion, but while they're still tired, I suddenly got energy? It's not fair. And I feel so guilty too, because why? There's nothing I can do to help either, as much as I try, and I wish there was

Now I understand why friends got annoyed when I ran extra or did extra pushups after I was done to try to encourage them when they were struggling and do it with them so it wasn't as bad, after I stopped being tired soon after, and they felt like I was showing off when I wasn't trying to

Ugh, I'm so annoying

No. I annoy them to get them on my level.

I love annoying people in a fun way when someone else still wants to pass out and I got sudden energy, I can't tho

I usually annoy people tho I have more energy than 99% of people my age I think

I have the energy of a 5 year old and the body of a 90 year old LOL

I can't tell if I like it or not honestly having so much energy, but I usually do

Better than feeling like a robot and no longer being happy when I take my adhd medicine and get calmer sometimes tho It makes me feel like I have no personality

It sounds like you're overthinking the whole thing but it's ok I do the same thing

Idk I know it’s not a big deal but I still feel kinda bad ya know?

still going from how exhausted I was to energetic so fast and without eating much or resting at all is weird

I think I used to overthink when other people got stressed about tests and I was either calm or hyper and tried to make myself stress

It's very weird but you can't control it, if someone actually got mad at you I would be questioning them lol

Butttt I have also done something similar like since everyone else isn't hungry I'll skip too... Even tho I'm hungry

Oh no I love food, I sometimes look forward to the next day bc I’m looking forward to eating

I do get shy eating around ppl sometimes tho

That's is very much a great thing to look forward too (especially leftovers from a big dinner)

It's usually around people you don't know

Oh no, I daydream about what I’m going to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner the next day and look forward

I also look forward to drinking coffee the next day as well sometimes, but mostly food

not even just strangers tbh, I’m a slow eater and I have good table manners ofc, but I’m not the neatest either, I literally didn’t eat lunch bc my cousin was working at the same table once years ago and I’ve known her my whole life

 

[Wingfrost]

I do sometimes. Mainly with my mom, we’ll both work on the same thing and afterwards I’ll still have energy but she’s exhausted. It definitely seems unfair.

 

[Soogi]

nah im usually the one who's drained and exhausted, im tired most of the day if im honest. i do feel guilty when i get to sleep in and someone else has to get up early

 

[shika]

No aha don't feel guilty over something you cannot directly control

 

[dark_tranquility]

I kind of follow suit and try to stay awake like them.
Otherwise I sleep.

Maybe something happened that just managed to scratch the itch in your brain and make you excited again.

I don't usually feel guilty bc if they're tired they can sleep and if I'm not then I'll go watch something on my phone or do something else. What they feel doesn't have to do with me so I'll go to bed when I feel like it.

 

[Abeamus]

No if I'll put the best I can into something and if someone can't keep up then that's a them problem

Tbh nothing happened, I’m energetic a lot of the time, out of nowhere, which is why I don't think it's necessarily a good thing

But going from sad to energetic or upset to energetic is completely different from going from feeling so weak that lifting an empty spoon was a struggle

Lol if you're not doing anything with them, makes sense

 

[Yerichu]

Sometimes cause they'll expect you to still be able to work more yet despite it feels not right
Now my house not really
