I'm an introvert with social anxiety. They don't always go hand-in-hand but many socially anxious people are also introverts. If you catch me on a good mental health day I can socialize with little to no discomfort. There are select people that I can hang out with and I don't even think about being anxious.
Several years ago, I decided to skip any and all social things that made me anxious. Which was basically everything aside from going to work.
And that was a disservice to myself. As tempting as it is to isolate, isolate, isolate, it's important to find a balance. To create boundaries and honor them - yet also push the right boundaries just a little bit.
You want to get to a point where you can be social and also have the ability to recharge yourself fairly quickly. When your social boundaries aren't being honored or you don't have good coping skills, we enter the phase of social exhaustion or burn out. Your social battery is drained and then you fall flat on your face. Here are a few tips to cope with social exhaustion.
(You can find more on my blog post Self-Care for Introverts - link in bio)
When I'm in my social exhaustion phase I am physically exhausted. I want to lay on the couch, unmoving, obsessing over some random puzzle game on my phone for literal HOURS. I completely zone out. I am so emotional and it's super easy to annoy me or hurt my feelings and touch - certain sounds - smells - bright lights - can make it worse. These are the things that I do to make it better.

Let there be light! To maximize the “party” potential of this area of our yard, which includes the fire pit and shed, we added exterior barn lights! Imagine throwing open those double doors under a starry night sky and being able to see a mini-buffet of drinks and snacks! Now I just need to leave my yard so I can meet people to invite. #sociallife #sheshed #partyshed #gardenshed #pottingshed #capecodhouse #thisoldcapehouse #gardentours #gardentour #mycountrygarden #cottagegarden #plantlove #gardeninspiration #creativespaces #landscapedesign #naturelove #gardener #blomster
I love spending time with my friends, but one day of socializing equals three days of recovery.
