Anyone else feel this deep in their soul? There's a viral sentiment going around about how enjoyable social gatherings are for a super short period, like 32 minutes, before you're already dreaming of your couch. It's so much more than just being anti-social; it's about a real struggle to respect our own emotional boundaries. We often push ourselves to stay longer, say 'yes' when we mean 'no,' and keep conversations going, not out of enjoyment, but fear. Fear of seeming rude, disappointing friends, or being labeled boring. Society often makes us feel guilty for prioritizing our comfort, as if self-care is selfish. But honestly, everyone has a different social battery. Some thrive on constant interaction, others get drained quickly by processing all those voices, expressions, and social cues. It's not about who's better, just how we're wired. Let's normalize honoring our energy levels without guilt! #Psychology #Wellness #Society https://indianexpress.com/article/lifes… 🔗
