I think you are probably a very nice polite and considerate person. You are not being unreasonable if they are around all the time.
Loved ones do forget – and often! And if they are very close to you perhaps they are also in a little element of denial - making accommodations is tantamount to acceptance!

Look how this member from a neighboring forum tackled this….

For different reasons. I personally could not stand long whilst talking. When with my best friend at work, I would lay on my office floor and talk to her whilst she was sitting on a chair. She understood, as did another close colleague. Other times when caught off guard with a question in the corridor I would always hope it would be something short. Suddenly and unpredictably I would sense there was only 45 seconds until trunk muscle extinction and instead of listening I would be looking desperately around for something to lean on or hold on to!

Iīm sure itīs difficult to explain when you do have a diagnosis and sometimes probably a little more difficult when you donīt.

Good luck on this one – it may not always be this way – But your health has to be prioritized over the feelings of those you live with at this time.

.....Something like that
