ive been able to stop joint pain everywhere else in my body except my neck.

the ‘spinal engine theory’ has helped me A LOT in this regard; my arms and legs feel nice and relaxed, and my hips + core + shoulders are engaged & mobile. everything below my neck feels comfy during my run. im inclined to believe that this isn’t an issue of tensing my arms or an unengaged core.

the only thing that hurts is my neck! it feels stiff along the cervical spine and causes pain at the base of the skull.

I don’t know what im supposed to be doing with my neck/ head muscles during my runs to alleviate this. do you know anything about how to loosen up the neck, what mobility of the neck should look/feel like during a run, or what proper neck posture during a run looks like?

I feel like the definition changes from person to person, and is often conflicting. This has always confused me for introversion and extroversion alike.

Like if we take the "loses energy during social interactions/ recharges energy when alone"- what does that mean exactly?

Is there a difference between how you interpret energy vs enjoyment?
do you count all social interactions as energy draining? even the enjoyable ones?
what do you mean by 'energy'?
