This is a poll for everybody - enthus and pros! Do you find that you're expending more emotional energy when you're with someone in person, or when you're only seeing each other virtually?
I find that because I can quite easily transmute energy physically versus emotionally, I do better with emotional labour when I'm in person with someone. When I'm with someone virtually, sometimes I feel like I'm inefficiently expending that emotional energy. It's not that I don't enjoy interacting with people virtually through video, but I feel like it's just not enough. Or that I'm not able to give enough.
So this leaves me feeling spent, and a little bit drained sometimes!
How about y'all? Let's share.
