Do you have a low or high social battery?

[noname223]

I think I have a pretty low social battery. I overthink social interactions so insanely intense. They take so much energy. At the same time I feel so lonely all the time.

I have pretty low battery. in fact my battery is going to zero right n

 

[darksouls]

zero

 

[getoutgirl]

If the social event has more than 10 people in it there is a high chance I will have disappeared without telling anyone before the first hour
If I'm able. And If I have to, I just talk and act like a person for enough time until there is a window of opportunity and then I dip
And those were the good days. Waaaay back. Now my social battery is almost always full cos I don't social anymore ^^

 

[Forever Sleep]

Low. I avoid people where possible. I'm weirdly ok here. In fact, I feel like I need the interaction here, otherwise there would be next to nothing. I enjoy lots of alone time though. I relax and recharge on my own. I weirdly don't tend to get lonely too- which is a blessing under the circumstances.

 

[SVEN]

None at all.

a person said hi how was your weekend today to me and i immediately felt exhausted

 

[patheticparasite]

Low. Let me interact with people for just an hour and the rest of the day is ruined by overthinking my perceived mistakes.

Still, I've been making some progress lately. If I take small steps and don't drain my battery too much, I should be able to increase exposure without the risk of falling back into total isolation. Here's hoping.

 

[Hollowman]

Very low, I rarely get lonely.

 

[vitbar]

I enjoy and need alone time, but seem to not tire when with people. Social anxiety and habit has me avoiding people in my free time.

Used to experience crippling loneliness. Haven't in a couple of years now.

Mine is medium, I can deal with people when necessary as long as a group is not to big.

However, I do require time with just my fur babies.

 

[FoxSauce]

Well moslty depending i guess.

If I recharge enough then sure but not in like a place full of people but i can hangout in a small group or setting.

 

[Message In A Bottle]

Too low. Seems I struggle with wanting to imagine social interactions to my whim rather than creating them like normal people do. Even though I do yearn for human contact, it demands too much effort that doesn't come naturally to me.

Why I'm better at overlaying a message rather than talking freely in my own voice. There's enough time in between where I can think up what I'm going to say before hand.

 

[rabidbunny]

low, i get tired so easily these days and constantly feel like im masking even with close friends. i often spiral when alone but as soon as im out, i want to be back in bed.

 

[-nobodyknows-]

Varies greatly depending on who I am with and how many people are present

 

[Broken_Biscuit]

A great thread this.

I avoid socialising wherever possible. This is why I find work-life so difficult; because you're kind of forced to be social. It's exhausting! I have few friends, and I rarely go out - and like many people here, I'm all good with it.

Alone, but never lonely.

 

[Namelesa]

Mine varies. Depending on the person and how many there are i can be with them all the time (like if I was with the person I am most attached to at the time) or very little (like if there were a lot of people i don't know.) I feel empty and can feel lonely when I am on my own sometimes but that disappears when with the person I am most attached to.

 

[CatLvr]

Very low, I rarely get lonely.

This is me. I don't remember the last time I was lonely. In fact, I even dread my husband's days off. Sigh. It's not that I don't care about him, even with all our problems, but I'd give ANYTHING if we lived at different addresses. Because I am exhausted ALL the time.

 

[cemeteryismyhome]

No battery. Like one of those flashlights or radios that you have to crank by hand. I avoid social interaction at almost any cost, expect for situations where someone might start to suspect that I "need help". Then I show up and fake it.

i'd like to say high. the truth is that it runs out very easily t_t
