I really don't understand myself sometimes or the things I do. When faced with a decision that makes everyone happy, I don't take it.

A friend who I haven't seen in years and who I've missed was back in Chicago today and wanted to hang out, and she even suggested going to this new bar that I've been wanting to look at. And I was free all night. And yet despite everything being perfect, and that I really wanted to do it, I decided to completely ignore her and just sit around at home all night. I don't get it. Why did I do that. Why am I even here typing this now instead of going out to see my friend.

Maybe you're just stubborn/disagreeable to the point where you're even disagreeable to yourself. Or maybe you just don't like being expected to do something.

I'm like that with people over stupid things like if I was gonna do something and then someone tells me to do it I won't do it even if i want to.

I do stuff like this and in my case it's because I sometimes have just exhausted my available "people energy" for the day.

But you are much more extroverted than I?? In fact I'm quite introverted so this is almost expected for me.

@sarabee1995 I hadn't done anything all day and hadn't expended energy of any kind. I think maybe I have a problem with doing the thing that people most expect from me. I've done this in other ways too, like refusing to take money that I won fairly even though I needed it.
