I feel like this job can get really annoying after a point. Like, I for instance don't want to talk anymore when I go home or see people and turn my social brain on.. and it's affecting my married life too. It's just so exhausting. Is this a sign I should look for another job? Are the rest of you just biting down on these things, or do you feel it too?

I think it's very important to do a job that fits with your temperament. Check in with yourself honestly and see if the exhaustion is constant and affecting your well-being on a daily basis. If yes, it might be time to consider changes, whether that’s setting better boundaries or exploring new roles

It is absolutely normal to require decompression following the end of your work day. Make sure to build in some time after you get home, just to give your brain some time to “idle.”

This only becomes a problem if you find yourself unable to de-stress (regardless of how much time you have) or do not have sufficient time to engage in self-care.

I found a work from home job for this reason. I'm too introverted for working in an office and it was draining my social battery by lunch.

same here :)

My husband knows not to talk to me until I have my decompression post-work bath 😆 it's all about finding the balance between work and home. If you feel like your social battery is running too low at work, maybe figure out how to set some boundaries between yourself and your job? Therapy helped me a lot with this.

Do you think this job is excessively social or do you think that any HR position would be this draining for you? I think it'd be worth trying a few stress management tactics (and maybe taking lunch in your car or something to give yourself a break). But if nothing works, then you could start looking for something else. But give it a few months of trying new solutions

I started working remotely and it solved all those issues you described

I got out of my water drinking habit and finding it hard to build back up to 100oz + per day. I don’t like the fact I’ve added in drinks with fake sweeteners to get more fluid intake. What do you all drink to supplement water that is better than some artificially flavored and/or colored beverage? I feel nothing exists and I just need to get back to my water habit. Maybe any good water bottles that help you drink more?
