Many of us find offline socializing to be very draining/difficult, I am curious if anyone else finds online socializing to also be draining/difficult.
And if yes, is it to the same degree?
Are the reasons the same or different?
For me the reasons for it being draining and difficult are largely the same, the only reason unique to online socializing is the lack of nonverbal information (like tone of voice and facial expressions....which I use to help me understand certain things when words alone won't do it or I can't understand the words.)
For me, online socializing can be less draining or more draining than offline socializing...it really depends on the specific interaction.
