You must send me your address; I have cheap, tacky Japanese souveniers for you. (Not anime, don't worry. :p)
I understand how being around other people can be exhausting. I feel like that myself sometimes. Not nearly as much as I used to, but there are still times where I find the presence of other people unbearable. Someone once explained that there are people who need to be surrounded by others to 'recharge', to relax and to feel at ease, and other people need to be alone and find company exhausting. I guess we're the latter. I've spent a long time fighting the idea that there's something wrong with me for enjoying quietness and reclusiveness. But as aeireono likes to say, "I don't have a mental illness, I have an unusual personality."
I guess that's a long way of saying that I agree. But do you want to go have a baking day with some non-family? I find cooking is actually one of the least tiring ways to interact with other people. Might be good. And I can send you recipes. I'm pretty sure you'll want to have a crack at my 'sex cake'.
