@beandreams@friendhole.social You can pay a social price for that, though. People can interpret your self-protective behaviour as anti-social, they may decide you don't like them, are angry or impatient. Even if you tell them you have a chronic illness, they don't have the experience to be able to connect your actions to your illness. So going home early might be "going off in a huff". Sitting quietly might be "a bad mood" and so on.
