Socializing is self-care but analyze: for me? Map social needs: introvert vs. extrovert vs. social energy. Calculate: social self-care vs. alone self-care vs. my needs. Show me the social reality: socializing isn't self-care for everyone. Give me the truth: know whether social time restores or depletes you. Include: whether socializing restores me, what my actual social needs are, if forcing social time.
