from Leave Me Alone · host Amy
Everything this week has been loud. Not just sound… life. Constantly, unnecessarily, aggressively loud.In this episode of Leave Me Alone: The Antisocial Podcast, I talk through a week that completely broke my ability to function in peace from Rugby Tots chaos and dramatic toddler injuries that somehow become full emotional story arcs… to Argos delivery drivers who move like silent ninjas… to a flat-pack furniture situation that nearly ended in domestic philosophical debate… and an ice cream van that has officially become my personal villain origin story.Oh, and somewhere in the middle of all that… I decided the solution to stress was to start crochet. Obviously. That went exactly as well as you’d expect.This is an episode about overstimulation, small domestic disasters, avoiding people, avoiding noise, and somehow still trying to hold your life together while everything outside refuses to be normal or quiet.If you’ve ever hidden from a doorbell, mentally panicked at an ice cream van jingle, or started a new crochet hobby at 10pm… this one’s for you.Subscribe if you enjoy organised chaos, antisocial energy, and stories that get progressively worse in the best way.New episodes weekly. Probably. If life isn’t too loud.
