It depends on the situation. Today I met my daughter’s “friend” for the first time. It was an unplanned event and even though he is a nice guy/kid it was exhausting because you know… first impressions.

Fairly easy - if only I could remember their names! I met someone new a few weeks ago called Neil. Within two minutes I’d called him Jamie for some reason. He was very gracious about it.

No matter how high the cost, I have a hard time finding new people worth to get to know. With the wonderful exception of my new model.

Any kind of social interaction is exhausting for me tbh

It's very hard for me.

As an introvert, most interactions cost me too much energy. (So the latter)

It's not my objective right now, but I'd say it does

Idk, socializing isn't easy for me, but I don't remember any particular time I wanted to get to know someone and it was hard. Unless you count online dating sites, especially trying to get them to know me. It's not a matter of energy, though; I have limitless mental energy.

It's easier BUT again here it comes the irony. Now I lack the will and the energy to do it.

Before my last job I'd have said no, but I've become a lot more sociable in the last year and a half.
