DAE feel exhausted by the pressure to always be “on” in social situations?

Lately, I’ve been feeling like there's this constant pressure to be “on” in social situations, even when I really just want some quiet time. It’s as if we’re expected to be constantly engaging, entertaining, or showing a certain energy, no matter how drained or overwhelmed we feel. Does anyone else feel that way?

I don’t know, it’s not that I don’t enjoy spending time with people, but sometimes I just want to sit back and observe without feeling like I need to perform. I’m starting to wonder if anyone else struggles with this, especially as someone who needs quiet time to recharge. How do you navigate it without feeling guilty or like you're letting people down?
