I feel you SO hard. Making connections & talking to people can be so fun but maintaining them...existing outside an initial burst of social energy...ough. Too many status effects.
Literally today I was talking in Discord DMs with an irl friend and she sort of obliquely asked how I was doing after a brief conversation (sharing something with faer that I thought it would probably like) and I just stopped replying lol because I just. Have so little social spoons. Anecdotal showcase.
Anyway, sorry to hear you're dealing with the same but it's also a totally normal way of being in socialization. The good news is that I think it's normal and even if I see people less often, they're still on my mind and I appreciate seeing and hearing from them when I do. (Which is a wordier and less personal way of saying: Happy to see you here, think about you when I don't see you, etc).
