At my cousin's wedding, I suddenly started crying during the toast and had to hide in the parking lot... it made me wonder if I'm dealing with more stress than I thought.
I live in an apartment where people expect you to stop and talk in the hallway every time. It feels like a performance, and it leaves me exhausted. Honestly, we need to normalize just saying hello and moving on without a full conversation. My stress levels drop when I can avoid these drawn-out interactions.
