Once I started just being honest about my social battery/commitment limit, I realized literally everyone either feels the same way or understands. I haven’t had a single negative reaction to saying something akin to the last sentiment. People appreciate it over a white lie, and if they don’t, they’re not worth the time.
I’m sure some appreciate it but the white lie exists for a reason. Because people don’t believe it when someone expresses that their social battery or mental energy is down.

My experience as well
No, let’s lie to each other a bit more, I’m tired of explaining this.
So just stop explaining yourself. People who matter will understand, and the people that don’t probably weren’t going to be a good time anyway.
