People Get Infuriated By These "Am I The Jerk?" Stories

"For context, three days ago I was rollerblading and got hit by a car. My injuries were far from life threatening (nothing broken, no concussion by some miracle), but the injuries I have are still excruciatingly painful. I have physio therapy in a few days, and my entire left knee is covered with burning road rash, and I can’t put weight on it. My right leg is more bruised than anything. My parents have been okay during this process. I know everyone is worried about me, so that’s why I feel like a bad person in this scenario. I get it. I can hardly walk four paces in a minute. Yesterday, my parents told me I had to keep my bandages off in order for the wounds to heal, which is absolutely agonizing because every time they touch anything, it feels like my leg is on fire. As well as that, every time I bend my leg, the muscles ache and burn, and the healing scabs shift and crack, which only adds more pain. Regardless, I did as they said. Today I woke up to my grandparents here. This isn’t the first time they’ve been here since my accident. They are the sweetest old couple ever. My granny is the nicest person ever, but I don’t like being fussed over that much because of personal reasons, and she fusses a lot. She won’t let me do anything for myself. I’m not a morning person, for starters, and I know that doesn’t excuse much; but adding that to my injuries means please don’t expect much from me. I know she means well, but she’s constantly around and she’s so overbearing, and I’m overwhelmed already because of everything happening. I was stressed before I got hit, and now I’m even more stressed. I don’t want to tell her to leave me alone because I know she means well; however, it was clear during her visit today that I wanted to be left alone, as it was a particularly painful day. My mom noticed I was being antisocial, and now she’s upset at me. I mean, my granny got me flowers both now and the last time she came. I know she means well. I just can’t handle it right now. AITJ for not wanting her around when I’m in recovery?" Another User Comments: "YNTJ. Whenever I'm in pain of some sort, I don't want to socialize; I can't even imagine how it must be for you. I wouldn't worry too much about it and just relax. I hope you get well soon!" ghxstbxr Another User Comments: "NTJ; It's normal for pain to affect mood and make you less social. That said, I would maybe next time say something like "I really appreciate you guys coming and wanted to take care of me, but what I really need now is some rest and time alone; I'll make sure to come visit you once I'm healed"" itsastrideh
