IDK if it's her ADHD but being around her makes me feel so fucking exhausted.

The constant venting, then telling me every half remembered news story she's seen over the past week, celebrity drama, movies, internet drama, politics. The way she talks is very hard to follow, like she leaves critical details out or talks in circles a lot so it's just unbelievably boring. Very emotive too in a way that gets grating. And then when she turns on the TV, it's usually some very fast paced drama content if it's not anime. Not her fault that she's like that but it melts my brain. I feel like I'm contracting dementia.

Worst part is it's completely my fault. She's asked me before if her personality overwhelms me and I say it does not. I guess it just feels mean to say something like that even though it is true. I give off every possible signal outside of just outright saying that I cannot take it anymore but I think she just does not understand. And I know that she will take it personally because she acts insecure about it.

Part of what makes it hard is that being around other people is already tiring regardless. So even if she did what she could to accommodate me it would not entirely fix the problem, just tone it down a little. What we really need is for both of us to move out of this town and go our separate ways.
