I have repeated that I am overstimulated and everyone needs to get the fuck out of my way too many times over the decades. I don’t people anymore. It’s simple really.

I’m just starting to say this openly when overstimulated. I never even recognized it until recently. I have words for this now…! and I’m going to use them and not feel ashamed

I try that on the roads but nobody seems to move out the way for me. I should try one of those flashy lights and wailing noise maybe?

Exactly! I want to go home is not an invitation for a discussion on why I should stay. It’s my compromise for telling you that I am leaving in a nice way.
