I'm a natural introvert, so talking a lot requires a significant amount of energy from me. I've gotten way better at pushing myself to be the talkative center of attention, but sometimes I still can't get myself into a super social headspace, but I still want to go out. Often times this happens when I go out with people that are... for lack of a kinder description... a bit boring and without much to add to the conversation. I know I'm supposed to "self amuse", but sometimes I get tired of even hearing myself talk. Maybe I just need to become more comfortable talking less or maybe you have some tricks for summoning reserve social energy?
