Forced Small Talk & Pleasantries

Your ultimate social battery drainer is 'Forced Small Talk.' You actually have a fairly high capacity for socializing, provided the interaction is genuine and intellectually stimulating. However, the moment you are forced into a networking event, a polite office party, or small talk with an acquaintance at the grocery store, your battery plummets to 1%. Maintaining the 'polite, cheerful mask' while talking about the weather or trivial gossip requires a monumental amount of energy from you. You value authenticity above all else, and superficial interactions feel like a waste of your mental resources. You'd rather sit in comfortable silence than force a fake conversation.
