      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

      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.
