You could just tell them your social capital is spent and leave.

My deeply held belief is that living demands courage.

Whilst being true to yourself, especially in a community that would despise you for it? Certainly! But if the circumstances allow for it, you can be mostly a coward, hiding behind authority and the masses, and maybe only stepping out of your comfort zone in particular occasions until the day you die, right? 🤔

Absolutely correct, but my counter argument would be to ask if that would be considered living or just breathing until you stop?

I've been more honest about that as I've gotten older, to others and myself. Like, if I have obligations coming up, I'm gonna plan a recovery day without. I'm gonna show up, do my best, then let the host know I'm tired when I've run out of socialization and leave before I get too awkward and distant. It's hard but worthwhile to just be honest how you're feeling.
