There are many times where my mood just goes down, and at times like that, I become extremely irritated, sensitive and quiet. Little things can piss me off and/or cause me to overthink. So I sometimes prefer to be left alone whenever that happens.
I have a friend who follows me around everywhere and honestly it’s a good thing, as someone who is very shy and does not have good social skills, having a friend to be with me is quite nice, but it gets quite obnoxious sometimes.
How do I say that I want to be alone without offending anyone or better yet, what can I do/say to be able to have some time alone? Any excuses or whatever I can use.

just be honest:) I have a social meter and after a while I can get tired, and just want to be alone. It’s not a bad thing just let them know when you want to have some space for a bit so they wont take it personally.
Be honest. Tell them just that. “Hey- thanks for hanging out- sometimes I need some alone time- I can feel myself starting to get into an off mood. This is a time I could use some quiet. Can I call you tomorrow?”
