my fave thing is that like, because i spend quite a lot of time at school socialising (and doing a pretty good job of it i think?) when i get home i am very socially tired. so at home i try to relax a bit and maybe not have as great social skills bc you know, it’s my parents, they know it takes me a lot of effort to do it well at school, they know i need time where maybe i don’t have to worry about that stuff
except bc they never really see me around other people, they assume the way i am at home is the way i am with everyone (even when i tell them otherwise) so i get constant lectures on How To Behave Socially, which is all stuff i already know, and i get told “charity begins at home” (wow. maybe they should try that. what a thought) + like… at home, i am tired. i am not making nearly as much effort as i do at other times, because it takes so much effort at those other times. my parents do not see those other times, so even though i try to explain that, i am not allowed to relax at home. which sucks.
