>i literally spent 6 hours yesterday and another 4 today drafting up a few simple text messages that the person on the other end might assume took me just a few minutes to think up. i didn't reply to (You) for like 3 hours after coming home because I felt too tired to even do the minor amount of emotional labor that goes into opening up on an anonymous mongolian basketweaving forum.Anon, I feel ya. I'm taking so long to reply to you myself because I think it warrants a well-thought-out post. I get what it feels like to have very little "social battery" and I don't think there's much you can do sadly. It just means you're extremely introverted and there's nothing wrong with that. I believe that if a person is worth your time, they'll respect that.
>being (and sleeping) healthy helps a lot but that's a pipe dream for my lifestyleYeah, Anon, this kind of thing is probably a factor. I fucked up my sleep schedule horribly and I've probably never eaten healthy in my entire life, and the result is that some days I'm too tired to even speak and anything people irl tell me ends up turning into a massive annoyance. From looking up advice around, seems like this lack of energy might be indeed caused by unhealthy life styles or vitamin deficiencies, and I've seen people recommend actually seeing a doctor about that. Might be worth trying but I can't vouch for any of that, as this might be hell depending on where you live and I don't believe there's such a thing as an one-size-fits-all solution. I'm kinda in the same boat and I have no idea how to go on about any of that. The best I can do currently is being supportive of other people like you. We're all in this together after all. You seem to be a good person with a good head on their shoulders and I'm rooting for you.
