Bangkok

Ok so I just need to know if it's just me or what! I just completed my first year as an expat in Bangkok, Thailand. I often longed for home and many of the conveniences (United States). Well I've been home for about a week and am dreading seeing everybody. I have no idea why though. I am staying with my parents and spent a day with my inalws. However, I have friends that have contacted me, aunts, uncles, cousins, and I have managed to avoid them. I even deactivated my facebook...(Perhaps as a way of "hiding out") I'm thinking I"m still jet lagged and just not ready. I don't know. Anyone share this. I mean, I don't even want to call anyone. I feel guilty, but it is what it is. I am here for 5 more weeks and I know that this will have to pass. Suggestions?

Rest for a few days maybe even a week then you'll probably feel more like socializing. You've been working for a whole year non-stop, now you're back home with a bit of jet-lag and maybe even a bit of Reverse Culture Shock too. You're not Iron Man, don't feel bad about that fact.
