Does anyone else feel not entirely present when out with friends

Does anyone else feel not entirely present when out with friends. Like you're there in body but you're brain isn't in it. Not even when i'm thinking about my ex just generally? Although things do remind me of her and I replay things sometimes to myself

could be your brain’s just tired. that kind of thing happens a lot after stuff ends. it drags your focus without you noticing.

i remember that too. i wasn’t even thinking about him most times, but it felt like my mind just didn’t want to come back online. like it needed quiet and didn’t know how to ask.

yeah. i’d be sitting there, laughing at dumb stuff with my friends, and then suddenly i’d feel like i was underwater. not sad, just not there. like what’s the point of any of it.

This is happening to me. And It feels weird because sometimes I feel like I need to cry but I can’t because I am surrounded by people and 🥲
It is so frustrating to not be able to be fully present with your friends :(

I was at my friend's for dinner last night. before the dinner was even cooking I said sorry guys, I'm going home. my head just wasn't in a good space and felt I was going to ruin the evening.
