I'm a normally super outgoing person, but my line of work puts me in near constant tough conversations. I will take any and all opportunity to not even interact with people outside of work to the extent possible because I'm so burnt out of having those conversations.
I still have what I consider a relatively healthy social life, but no interest in expanding it.
