Awesome folks at Artist Alley tables around me: making plans for evening, exciting meet-ups, meals, parties, etc.

Me: plotting the best route back to my hotel room for solitude, silence, showering, snacks & sleep.

Would I love to socialize more at cons? Yes! Will I? Never!

Exhibit floor crowds push a lot of emotional buttons, & I have to ration energy.

Hermit time is a survival necessity.
