I’ve been more honest about that as I’ve gotten older, to others and myself. Like, if I have obligations coming up, I’m gonna plan a recovery day without. I’m gonna show up, do my best, then let the host know I’m tired when I’ve run out of socialization and leave before I get too awkward and distant. It’s hard but worthwhile to just be honest how you’re feeling.
I saved this shit for an in person meme dump, it’s so good
