That's interesting, about the theater experience. I've never done drama, but I do sometimes feel like I have multiple faces, like "Sounds Smart Dave" and "Is Can Be Entertainer Now Dave." Both of which are, as you say, somewhat tiring to wear.

I do honestly find people exhausting. WisCon is my favorite thing ever, but afterwards I usually don't talk to anyone for a week or so, I am so drained.

The online vs. real-life question is a good one, too. I can have a correspondence going on with someone over email, then avoid them in person because I get so nervous about what to say.

Basically, yeah to everything you said.
