I realize I am WAY more introverted than I used to be because I used to need a LOT of social interaction all the time. Now in my 30's I get social battery depletion and need a day or two to recoup LOL What IS this. - ThreadSky

It happens to me alot too. I'll play games several days in a row with friends then sometimes take multiple days to a week off. It's gotta be 30s thing for sure.

Yep I’ve always been an introvert. Having autism growing up was a major part of it but I always tried making friends as best I could

I feel this.. sometimes I just want pockets of socializing and then days of isolation or self time.

I'm 32, in my 20's i was always going out, being social on top of a very social job but and i didn't realise till the year before covid it was me masking, since covid I'm more comfortable being an introverted hermit and get drained after interactions

I feel like that naturally happens to introverts when the option to stay alone is always there.

Up through college, went to parties, MMA Club, gym every day, and worked as well. Tired, but always up for more.

I think I've gone out maybe 7 times in the past 5 years. LOL. work, gym, home otherwise

Social batteries are definitely a cooldown-based necessity. Some folks got a AAA battery, some got ones the size of a spaceship.

Noticed the same thing happening gradually over time. But it's good you recognize it. Makes knowing your social limits easier to balance.

Same love. Being around people is so draining now.

I honestly think it’s age. Experts have said that introversion / extroversion doesn’t change with age but I totally disagree.

In my 30's too, and I like staying home. It's where my stuffs at

eddawg79.bsky.social•72 days ago

Same, i just get tired of being around people, especially when they're being negative.

It could be a lot of things. It could be ADHD. Now that ADHD has now been bundled into some what of a Spectrum. My social battery is quite small as well. Sometimes, I'm just going out to get groceries and then home drains my battery. Social interaction especially drains it.

elvisparsley.bsky.social•72 days ago

I'm the same way. Most people annoy me so I just keep to myself lol

I feel this. My battery has been drained since early 20s - low battery mode since 😭
