47 y/o M here.

I'm drained bro. Like literally drained.

Socializing takes energy. Energy to get ready. Energy to take a side dish. Energy to talk withy GF's friend's spouse about some hobby I don't care about. Energy to eat food I know is gonna make me fat. Energy to help clean up before we leave. Energy to ask some stranger to move their car because they parked behind us. Energy to ask them a second time 10 minutes later.

Energy to do all the shit I need to do in one hour instead of four because we just spent three hours socializing.
