Sometimes, dealing with people just feels exhausting. It's not that I don't enjoy good company—it's that interactions can quickly drain my battery. Every conversation, no matter how small, feels like a subtle balancing act: carefully choosing words, interpreting body language, and trying to respond appropriately. It’s almost like running emotional software in the background constantly, which inevitably slows down my entire system.

For someone who values authenticity and depth, the superficial exchanges we often find ourselves in can feel draining. Small talk, navigating social expectations, and managing other people's energies and emotions require a level of focus and sensitivity that can be genuinely tiring.

That's why, at the end of a long day, I crave quiet solitude—moments when I can recharge and recenter. Being alone gives me space to reconnect with myself without the constant demands of external interactions. It's not about isolation, but about regaining energy to face the world with genuine enthusiasm again.

Anyone else feel this way, or is it just me?
