That interesting. Do you find it normally easy or hard to connect with people? Are you a computer programmer or something similar?
At the community camp in Berlin I got the feeling that maybe the idea that introverts get drained by social interaction is wrong. They get drained by interacting with people who are not like them. Many people at the event reported that they normally feel drained through social interaction but didn't at the event.
I'm personally normally not drained in energy by social interaction but felt the weekend incredibly draining.
Would you mind explaining why?
I could make up a story, but how would that help? The fact that I felt drained is a very direct observation. It's data. I don't have a counterfactual universe where I could alter certain factors about the weekend to see which of those factors is responsible for me feeling drained.
Thanks for replying!
This is certainly true. But I was hoping that you might be able to tease out the main differences between that LW weekend and occasions where you did not feel drained. It could even boil down to something like "I happened to be feeling stressed about something else during the community camp, which could explain why I felt drained more easily".
