Struggling to Socialize with Chronic Illness

anyone else feel like it’s been much harder to socialize since getting sick? now, when I do anything that takes a lot of energy like socializing, it’s as if i don’t have access to as much of my brain as i normally would. the brain fog, overstimulation, my memory tanks all of sudden, and the way i get on autopilot makes me so embarrassed sometimes. it’s hard to make a genuine connection when i’m always anxious and in that mode.
