But it’s fucking exhausting. Every word, every expression, every shift in body language has to be analyzed and then I have to figure out how I’m supposed to respond. The worst part is, I’m not allowed to be honest about the fact that I don’t know what to say to these people and don’t really want to spend time with them. I have to pretend that it all comes naturally to me. As if it isn’t the single most draining activity a person can do.
