First off, let me know if this isn’t the right place for something like this but wanted to see about advice
I live in a rural area so it’s normally not a problem, but I had a friend recently get married and had a big event. That was all good but I had to leave early cause all the music and talking got too much for me.
Is there anything I can do about that, all the noise and all or do I just leave when I’m good?
I find that going a ways away from things gives me a chance to catch my breath and relax. The last wedding I was at had an outdoor area near the dance floor where I went when things got too much for me. My family has a lot of hearing problems so I’m kinda anxious about protecting my ears. You can get little earplugs that aren’t too obtrusive, keep them in your car or something like that.
Otherwise if your friends are cool I would just let them know about how it affects you and leave when you are ready. If they’re good friends they’ll either accommodate you or be understanding when you hit your limits.
Thats usually what I do, just let everyone know and head out early. I do feel bit bad about it since my wife is definitely the more social of us but also feels bad to head out sooner than expected
