Does anyone else have near zero tolerance for human interaction in the mornings? I even get annoyed at people trying to help me, because I take it as an attack on my self-sufficiency. The only way I could successfully interact with people right after I wake up is if they acted like humble servants, and that's obviously not reasonable or realistic. There's an additional challenge right now, because the people I have to interact with are my parents, whom I am visiting for two weeks.
@thor lie and say you need to go through emails for work in the morning or listen to something so every fiber of your being screams "leave me alone" as you sit staring at a screen in massive headphones
@thor I get up far before dawn so I can coffee & work without people, then by my lunchtime I can behave socially.
