Explaining or describing tiredness after socialising

Oakling

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question from me linked to the tiredness I feel after socialising or conversing with people. I need a significant time to recharge and after being involved in this forum for a little while now, I can see that I’m not alone in this (a recent revelation of sorts for me). If you too experience this, how do you describe it/ explain it to others who simply cannot relate? I recognise that it is part of who I am and so do my loved ones, but for people who I’m friendly with, I’d quite like to have the words available to describe this a little to make it more relatable.

Thanks in advance.

Also, I’ve attempted to be more concise than usual here and I am somewhat concerned that I haven’t been clear enough in what I’m describing/asking, so I’d be happy to clarify if needs be.

  • Yes, I relate.

    A day out, in Belfast, hit me as if it was a few months in Australia.

    Last time I flew, and ever will fly, was November 2015; from Belfast. I arrived home just after 11 pm, but couldn't get to bed until 2:30 am.

    Some days are like this for me too. I feel like it’s almost getting worse with age as well (perhaps it’s due to having to juggle the extra responsibilities that life throws at you as you move forwards in life). I moved somewhere a lot quieter than where I grew up a number of years ago. I was shocked at how drained I was after going back there for a day or two, especially considering that at one point in life it was all I knew. That was a while ago now though.
