My natural tendency in social situations is to process things rather thoroughly, which is more work but tends to lead to a better understanding of what’s going on (modulo the fact that some kinds of interactions don’t make sense to me and thus are nearly impossible to integrate into my model). I could, in theory, rearrange my habits so that I was able to interact for longer stretches without getting tired, but at the cost of some of my perceptiveness, and I’m not interested in doing that.
Could you expand on that?
