Is it Social Exhaustion or Anxiety?

You cancel plans. You go quiet. You need to

be alone. But is it because socializing genuinely drains you - or because some

part of you is bracing against threat? In this episode we separate two very

different kinds of pulling away: autistic withdrawal and camouflaging on one side,

trauma-driven avoidance on the other. Through two contrasting cases, we show how

the same behavior - stepping back from people - can come from completely different

places, and why knowing which one it is changes everything about what helps.
