Sometimes you'll want to be on your own. Sometimes things will just get too much. Sometimes you'll be tired. Sometimes you just won't feel like doing things. And that's okay!
When you feel like this, don't ignore it - listen to your body! If you keep going and going and ignoring all the little hints your body and brain gives you, at some point you'll burn out. Or if you don't, you may feel exhausted, or overwhelmed. When you start feeling like that, it's okay to tell people that you don't feel like doing something.
Take some time to just sit and be with your thoughts. Read a book, have a bath, do some painting - whatever it is that you enjoy that makes you feel good. Or just have a nap! There is no shame in having a nap in the middle of the day. If you feel tired, then it's what your body needs - listen to it!
In Western culture we tend to ignore the element of self-care - things like meditation, self-massage, yoga etc are often overlooked as unnecessary, when they can be extremely helpful.
If you take some time out when your body tells you it needs some, you'll be recharged to do things you want to later on. Look after your body and brain, and it will look after you. It's okay to want time for yourself.
