A friend feels the same about people as I do about sitting. She gets easily "peopled out", and needa a solitary break. So whether it is spoons, sits, or people, life comes with a cost for many of us. We can do it, but we have limits, which are more pressing than most people's [5/5].

This is hard knowledge to acquire and live by. But three proms in one weekend is maybe a bit much? For anyone?

Absolutely this. And some days are better than others & tend to be unpredictable.

Accepting I have those limits has been the hardest thing.

Yes. One thinks one can do everything, but then collapses and can do nothing.
