It's 100x more exhausting if you're high functioning but I can make it work if I know what to avoid.
My brain is constantly trying to rationalize social queues and the environment to the point that going out in public spaces like a festival drains me of all my energy for the week.
Like I can physically feel myself getting ill when I go out to these places with friends and it seriously damages my friendships and dating prospects because it's not that I don't want to hang out with them in public, it's just I'm going to be a complete mess after an hour and start daydreaming and being anywhere else but there.
