Honestly in my early 20s I wanted to be surrounded by people, friends, strangers, family.

Now in my late 20s I’d be content with being alone most of the time. I enjoy my own company and while I’m not depressed, I experience social burnout a lot easier.

Biggest change between then is my job. I speak at meetings and give presentations during the day and it gets emotionally exhausting by 3pm

Same but I’m not happy about it. Feels like my job is getting the best of me rather than the people I love.

I can relate to that first part for sure! Being more comfortable and confident with age I think is what made the difference for me

I’m completely comfortable in solitude—it’s even needed at times
