How do social people do it?

I’m at a conference of 3500+ people and there’s a party tonight to celebrate the end of it and I went to it and walked around a little and am immediately back at my hotel room because that was way too many people for my asocial self

Idk. That is a lot of people
I wouldn't be keen to go either.

I'd probably try and go to the party for at least a half hour so it feels manageable and doable and I don't give up before trying.

Then decide how long to stay after that.

Some parties I make an hour, and some a couple hours and sometimes the entire party before I feel socially exhausted and then head back to the hotel or home.

Good luck!
Don't feel bad if you decide to only stay a short time. It's ok to be introverted.

@shakemeup The party started at 6:30 and I made it back to my hotel room at 6:38😅

Luckily my coworker was also not feeling it at all so we just hung out in the lobby
