One of the things that sucks about being an introvert is how you go through periods where you don't mind and actually enjoy being around people more often than usual. This can lead to a building expectation that you will stay this way as if the shut-in personality is the phase and not the other way around.

A couple weeks ago I met someone new which put me in a better mood to where I started to spend more time with people in general. At first, this heightened social activity felt great but now I'm starting to feel interaction overload and am starting to feel extremely burnt out to the point where I need to lock myself away for a couple days.

That's not to say that I need a break from the person I've been seeing because that extra interaction is just fine. I just need more time to recharge from the added exchanges with the people who were already in my life, not that it's been negative but it has been pretty draining.

I don't think the heat is helping either because it's making it impossible for me to take my mid-day nap which really helps with the recharge process because I find that the lack of an early evening rest leads me to be a little grumpy which I feel is the true source of the draining feeling and not really anyone else.

And there you have my thought for the day, I'll be sure to check in tomorrow when I come up with my next one.

Talk to you then,
