work on social stamina

I’ve been trying to get way better at my social stamina lately. I love hanging out, but I’m tired of that "social hangover",, where I’m totally drained after just a few hours and end up bailing on things I actually wanted to do.

I really want to reach a point where I can stay in the moment and be fully on without feeling like I need to disappear into a dark room for three days after. I’ve been practicing being a bit more intentional with my energy. knowing when to lean in and when to just take a quiet breath so I don't hit that wall so fast. It’s a weird thing to "train," but I want to be the friend who’s actually present and reliable, not the one who’s constantly checking the exit for an escape route
