Every time I think I should "pull myself together" (I'm not sure if that's actually possible given that I've tried numerous times in the past and failed, however I also don't really want to so there that is) I am then reminded that other people are larger groups or villages or cities or possibly even universes and then I'm like yeh I'm good XD
Perhaps you didn't silence them when you were being chill, perhaps current you just went for a nice long walk and you've only just returned to the village now ;D
Hope your internal council/village meeting goes well :)
