@wendynather @hosford42 I quite agree! I’ve been thinking it’s the Autism that leads me to social exhaustion and my ADHD that loops through all the things to remind me what went wrong. LOL

Whatever the combination, I agree these likely aren’t mutually exclusive. We experience both.

Mentioning #introversion is interesting as I ID’ed this way before Autism + ADHD diagnosis.Not mutually exclusive but overlapping signals.

Psychologists say people who need to be alone after socializing aren't recharging from exhaustion. Their brains are doing post-processing work on every emotional signal they absorbed, and the more empathetic someone is, the longer that processing period takes.

The quiet after socializing isn't recovery from depletion — it's your brain running a complex sorting algorithm on every micro-expression, tonal shift, and unspoken tension you absorbed, and some of us simply have more data to process.

Wow, am I peopled out. I am only willing to acknowledge the dogs and maybe the microwave timer right now. Everybody else, it is gonna be a hard pass.

No TV tonight (people), no social media (people) no phone calls (my God, no). No music (people), no audible books ( no people's voices). No, I say no. No peopling. No people-ishness. Ixnay on the eople-pay.

Honestly, I get Luke Skywalker.

Introversion wird oft missverstanden: Stille ≠ Problem,
Rückzug ≠ Desinteresse,
Alleinsein ≠ Einsamkeit.

#Psychologie #Introversion - Introvertierte Kinder werden oft mit schüchternen verwechselt oder glauben, falsch zu sein - "Introversion wird kulturell sehr unterschiedlich bewertet. In vielen asiatischen Kulturen gilt Zurückhaltung als vornehm und positiv. In westlichen Gesellschaften wird sie dagegen häufig als Schwäche interpretiert. So können introvertierte Kinder den Eindruck bekommen, dass sie nicht in Ordnung sind, wie sie sind. Im klassischen Frontalunterricht können sie häufig nicht mithalten, wenn es darum geht, sich auf eine Frage möglichst schnell zu melden." - Interview mit Herbert Scheithauer - Eventl. € https://www.zeit.de/familie/2026-01/herbert-scheithauer-introvertierte-kinder-entwicklung-psychologie-gxe/
