I had to entertain a roofer for 15 minutes since my mom wants to replace the roof.
People stress me out and I feel mentally exhausted after only 15 minutes. Kinda disappointed. I wish I was more resilient.
I texted my cousin that I don’t want to entertain her this Saturday as I need my rest.
How good are you at dealing with people?
Not good

Not good either
You shouldn’t need to even talk, the guy was there to make his work only.
We didn’t talk that much, but his presence in my apartment already stressed me.
Yeah, I get ya. Honestly I don’t care that much about that, personally.
I am exactly the same way. Most of the time I am around people I am counting the seconds until I can get away.
I am good at dealing with them for a while, but I always pay for it after.
Not very good lol
The medications affect my social skills. Negatively.
I like talking to my friends but i dont like strangers in my house especially if they’re doing renovations inside, last summer we renovated the bathroom and we had no access to a shower for 2 weeks, we had to shower at my uncle. Good thing we have another bathroom but no shower. I also hated that they were next to my room i couldn’t watch porn no privacy
I had people doing renovation on my previous flat which were going on for months. I didn’t mind talking to the workers, but I was stressed out because they could come from 7am or later in the day any day of the month unanounced.
I feel the same as you do @Jonathan2
We had work done on our garage this summer and had a handyman come by for 8 hours for 2 days in a row. I was exhausted 
I hope you get some peace and rest today
That sounds rough. I am similar. Trying to stay engaged, focused, and seem normal, is pretty difficult to do for more than a few minutes. For me. Takes a lot of energy.
I get exhausted after long interactions as well, maybe we’re just introverts. They say introverts recharge when alone while extroverts recharge around other people.
Work helps a lot though. I talk to people all day there so I’m getting better at it
