Hmm, part of the reason I asked is that the reasoning in your comment is the kind of cognitive process that tends to exhaust me when I have to work through it. It somehow coincides with me being more neurotic overall. So, basically, you think all that explicit stuff about social life, and you don’t feel at least a little pang of psychological pain/exhaustion? The very starting phrase (“a huge part of...”) reads like my thoughts when I’m ruminating about this stuff.
Sorry if this is a little intrusive, I’m just kind of curious, other than fishing for insights from people who might have similar thought-patterns.
I’m sufficiently extroverted that if the social interaction goes well, it gives me more than enough psychological energy to pay for multiple additional social bids. obviously, this is separate from physiological energy; if I’m sleep deprived and physically exhausted, this is insufficient. but I don’t generally get that physically exhausted from social interaction, unless I’m at neurips or something.
I mostly get overwhelmed by social bids when I am physically tired or unwell, rather than purely because of social life.
