Drained hannah

hello dear, how are you?

Today is one of those days when I just really miss you and need a hug. I have been in the office yesterday and today to help out with an in-store survey at our flagship store. It is a qualitative research, the target respondents are basically cookware shoppers. It is for one of the Disney programs that we will launch in HK in the near future. I was there to support the project even though I’m not the CMI (Derek’s) team, because I’m the Disney PM and they needed at least 1-2 people to help each other.

So I’ve been helping with doing these interviews for the last two day, and I did around 25 interviews in total, 4 hours each day. As you could imagine, the introverted Hannah is just sooo super drained now after doing this for two days. I don’t think I’ve been this socially drained for quite a long time. The last time was probably when I had to go to the trade show in Frankfurt last year. But I literally feel like I’m “emptied” inside out because of all the talking. It makes me realised just how introverted I truly am, because it’s not really about the amount of talking. I could probably easily interact with you (for example) for 4 hours each day. But it’s usually when I have to interact with strangers, my energy just drains super quickly.

It also makes me even more emotionally vulnerable too. I could feel myself really wanting to cry. On one hand, I feel like I’m so silly, but on the other hand, I just can’t help myself from being so silly. That’s why it makes me even miss you and need a hug. I guess I really need to be comforted after all these :(

But I’m glad that it is all done now, and I can finally work from home tomorrow and recharge. It’s also going to be the chinese new year week next week, so hopefully the break from work will help me get better soon.

Miss you 😢

This was me yesterday, I didn’t take any photos of today because I was too tired :(
