RE: Social Hangover
New people, speaking English and having a long day of your own comfort zone (home) is so draining, even if having a lot of fun. I did notice that you are a very good listener, and I don't think you looked grumpy at all when just silently paying attention to what other people, Taraz mainly, we're saying. I think it's a great skill to have and it's something I am trying to learn.
Speaking to a bigger crowd is my nightmare and I avoid it at all cost, but I like to talk a lot with a smaller group and like you said too, entertain.
I can relate to you on the dancing part, it's a completely different world! Every time I go to a bar, I really really want to go dancing and I can do it all night long and not feel so drained as I would if I just have to sit and talk. Really weird.
Or my brain had checked out. :D
Excellent. I've worked on that.
Mine too. Was. For a long time. But then I forced myself to do that over and over again because I knew that I would also love it after I've gotten used to it. But sometimes when I'm in front of a crowd, I suddenly notice for some reason the the extrovert part of me bails out and the introvert in me is left all alone and when it's time to talk, I stutter, some words come out of my mouth in random order and I have no idea what I'm talking about. I hear the words that I've said with few seconds delay and I start to think that people must think that I'm on drugs and start to laugh because of that. Hilarious, sad and very confusing at the same time.
When there's no energy for talking it's time for tequila and dancing.
