Drained from belonged socializing

Anybody ever get tired of being around people for too long? Liked sleepy and stuff? I get like this if I'm at a social event, I go on strong but then it's like I run out of fuel. lol

The title was supposed to say "Drained from prolonged socializing" my bad lol

Absolutely. I get very tired of keeping that fake smile plastered on my face. I get very tired of the vacuous, pointless, meaningless, stupid, endless, soul sucking and killing "Small Talk" that must be endured.

Keeping myself from saying something along the lines of, "Well, dumb ass, what the hell did you think was going to happen when you drove your car in that a tree!"

There are a lot of "social skills" that I find very taxing. People have remarkably dull lives, but insist on sharing those remarkably dull moments with you. Really, do you think I care that you had a "Really Good BM" this morning—?

YES!! I hate small talk and if I spend too many days socializing, I need at least the same amount of days to refuel.

And then they look at ya like ya have a deadly disease or something.

I think thats the most annoying thing of all because it shows thoughtless they are.

Ironically I wouldn't be surprised if they thought the same about me lol.

I like to socialize but not too much. There has to be balance in my life. If I feel a group of people I am socializing with is draining, then I just limit my time with them.

I am not a big talker and I really don't mind others going off at the flap as long as what they are talking about has some substance.

But, I have to agree with Blue. I love kids! They are awesome in my eyes. I can talk and be around kids all the time. They are hardly draining and give off the opposite effect.....lots of positive energy.

I, for one, am very keen to know if you had a really good Blow Mob this morning.


Faking anything is difficult for me (?basic Aries laziness) so I try really hard to not get into social situations with dickheads, fcuktards, morons, imbeciles, liars or boring people so I don't need to fake an interest in what they have to say. I vet guest lists extensively before RSVPing to anything and that includes work stuff.

A little while ago I ended up in a situation where someone was being too intense, too borning, for too long and I became physically and mentally exhausted trying to keep up the pretense that it was all still interesting. Finally we packed her into a car and took her home but it was sooooo hard to keep it all together.
*Shoulda seen me shake in my boots the next day when she wanted to do it all again😢

**boring

Oh hell Yes! When I worked 9-5 in PR and came home to my Leo roommate, she wanted to gab and all I wanted was to be left alone to decompress. I've also felt sleepy during heavy metal concerts. It was like white noise to me if I wasn't that into it. It's like I have two modes, on and need to be moving or doing something or off and flat on my back.

If there is a discussion, it has to be going somewhere near a conclusion or solution. If it's just venting and I'm expected to hear the same vent every time we get together, I'm done.
