Love loads of socialising.
No.
No.
Fucking hell, I'm with you on that.
It's kind of exhausting.
Yeah, I feel exactly the same.
And I think that obviously I'm loads older than you, but the society in which I grew up wasn't that friendly to introverts.
And so I learned how to be extroverted if I needed to, or to pretend to be, like socializing.
And so I know I'm good at it.
It's a sort of skill that I've acquired, but exactly like you, I feel quite drained by it.
So actually being able to observe and connect with people without directly having to engage
is really meaningful for me.
Yes.
My book is called One of Us, and it actually is about observation, a lot of it.
It's about rich people behaving badly.
It's like, I love Made in Chelsea.
It's like the Real Housewives meets Succession, meets the talented Mr. Ripley with a dash of White Lotus, I would say.
And it's about why we fall in love with the people that damage us, but why we often elect them too.
It's told primarily from the point of view of this character, Martin, who has never felt that he fitted in.
He's always struggled with his own sexuality.
