Most people stopped spending time with friends for at least some period of time over the past two-and-a-half years because of COVID-19. They find themselves tired when socializing now. This social exhaustion(疲劳) brings us a challenge: How do we keep up with our friends when we have social exhaustion? Here are some ways.
Set—and communicate—rules
There’s no rule saying that socializing has to last for a day or an evening. Before you start making plans, tell your friends that you’d love to hang out, but need to limit(限制) the time. You can be honest with your friends and tell them that socializing wipes you out. They may even feel the same way.

If making plans with someone else makes you tired, making some time for yourself is helpful. This way you know that you’ll have some quiet time to recover(恢复). So you don’t have to move on to the next tiring task.
Find out the most triggering(触发) situations
Part of your social exhaustion may stem from feeling worried in certain situations. First, find out what those are. Think through what makes you uncomfortable, and then let your friends know that those are things you’d like to avoid, if possible. From there, make plans that work for everyone.
After reading the passage, I believe you can avoid social exhaustion and still be a good friend to others.
