How large is your social battery?

I like having people over and hanging out but after like 3 hours or so I want to be alone again. My friend came over last night but I asked him to leave early because I was tired. Feel kinda rude or bad about it but I wish I could hang out longer without completely draining my battery. He’s my best friend and we both have SZA and are really similar so I figured we would hang out a lot longer.

Unless I get hangry

It depends on the day to be honest. Last night my social battery drained quick, and I was done an hour into our four hour Christmas shopping and Friday night dinner extravaganza.

Sometimes I can be social for hours, but I generally do good with smaller groups than large ones.

Two AAAs will get through an hour

Mine is about two hours, i dread christmas eve where i have to be together with my family for more than six hours, hope it goes well

I suffer through

I am a morning person, so I have a pretty good social battery until evening. After 6pm I get drained by people and all I want to do is go to bed.

A 5min journey up the road on foot can take 30mins at times, as I bump into people and chat. Thats ok by me.

If I have to mask too much at home, my safe place, maybe an hour or so before I start to become overwhelmed. I need to sit out for 15mins in silence and I can resume. If Im at Mass, I can go through the hour masking no problem. But some days, even a social visit (rare) can be tough. I sat with my bereaved friend yesterday for 2 hours and it actually went ok.

I suppose it depends on the person Im around and how relaxed I can be.
