Log #11: Socializing Can Be Exhausting


I'm sure I know I'm not the only one who thinks like this. When it comes to social obligations I have my limitations. Some people can carry on and talk with one another all day and all night. It's like a human radio that won't turn off and you tolerate it. I, for, one am not one of those people. 

Yet, some people don't get it and still feel like talking. Especially on the phone.

Personally, I have what I called "social limitations." What that means is I have a limit on how much I can interact with people. I love my friends and acquaintances. I love hanging out with them on various occasions. We talk about all of those most random crap in life. It can be about the food we eat, the people we met, updates on our lives, trashing talking while playing games, thinking about our futures, etc. The list can go on. We can talk as much as we want.

However, there are times when socializing can be physically and emotionally draining. 

After two hours, I just want to go home and lock myself in a quiet room. It's not that I want to avoid people. I need to go through a social recharge. Put my mind back on the Earth and get the heck out of the clouds. Then once I'm back to my common ground, I'm ready to socialize with people once again. 

My biggest hope is that I completely recover before the phone rings.
