Joined a close friend for a short city trip and wow, I forgot how draining it can be. Waiting around, constant small talk, hours in the bathroom, not knowing how to read a map, I was snapping and then felt guilty.
Thing is, I do enjoy parts of having a buddy dinners together, feeling safer at night, and actually having good photos of me instead of just selfies. But overall, I realize I prefer my own pace and silence.
Update: I finally spoke up. We decided to split up during the day and meet later. Such a relief, I feel like I can breathe again.
