If you don’t get more specialized as you age, you have to become more extroverted. Sociability is kinda the default specialization. I’ll never be a party animal or conference circuit business butterfly but I’m amazed at how much “sociability” is learnable.

Like with almost everything else, 90% of sociability boils down to pacing yourself, staying hydrated, and listening at least as much as you talk. Preferably way more.

It's incredibly learnable. I go from "might have aspergers" to reliably better than average when I turn it on. (I'm talking in Oakland next week, and I usually pound coffee at cons. The reminder on hydration is well timed: thanks.)

Yeah it’s tempting to do too much coffee in meetings especially when you do 5 in a row at a coffee shop over 5 hours. I limited myself to 1 cup and then 1 hot chocolate, but had 3 glasses of water.
