Most people think they need to be “more social” or “less social.”
But a lot of high performers aren’t either.
They’re energetically precise.
I don’t get drained by people.
I get drained when I can’t control my rhythm.
Over time I learned:
- I need to enter slowly
- I need one anchor point in the room
- I need to pulse: engage → withdraw → recharge
- I need to exit cleanly
- I need my own pace
When I honor that rhythm, everything changes:
- The room stabilizes
- Conversations deepen
- People relax and open up
- I stay present instead of depleted
This has nothing to do with extroversion or introversion.
It's architecture: the structure your nervous system needs to thrive socially.
Some of us don’t need fewer interactions.
We need well-designed ones.
Social life runs on rhythm.
Get the rhythm right and the whole field reorganizes around you.
What is your social rhythm?
- How do you need to enter?
- What is your anchor point?
- When do you know you need to pulse?
- How do you exit cleanly?
