Your social battery isn’t broken. It just has a capacity. Plan around it.
STILLNESS
STILLNESS
Running out after a few hours with people is not a defect, it is a spec. Some people leave a crowded room charged up and some leave it flattened, and neither result says anything about your character. The trouble starts when you keep booking a week as though you were the other kind of person, then wonder why Thursday feels impossible.
Look at the next seven days and count what will drain you. If those are stacked back to back, move one. Put a genuinely empty evening after the big thing rather than assuming you will be fine. Planning around your capacity beats resenting it.
After how many hours with people do you start fading?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
