You begin the event lively, responsive and socially ready, but that version becomes harder to hold as time passes. The energy drains, the lines stop coming and you can feel yourself dropping out of the role.
- arriving at a party talkative and becoming nearly silent an hour later
- starting a workday warmly engaged and losing the ability to chat by afternoon
- keeping up an animated conversation until your replies suddenly become one word
- feeling your smile and eye contact disappear as a long visit continues
Looks vs reality
The same Experience can look very different from the outside than it feels on the inside.
They've suddenly gotten quiet.
My social battery just hit 1%.
They must be bored with this conversation.
I've lost the ability to process words, not interest.
They're being rude and standoffish.
I'm desperately trying to prevent a full system meltdown.
I guess they decided they're done socializing.
The social part of my brain just went offline without asking me first.
