Reflection
Soft social routines are small, repeatable habits that make social moments more predictable. They reduce uncertainty so you can participate without taxing your reserves.
Keep rituals brief: a standard greeting, an arrival cue, a short phrase to signal a graceful exit, or a fixed hosting order. These micro-habits create clarity for you and others.
Introduce one routine at a time, try it for a few occasions, and adjust it to fit your comfort. Over time, these tiny structures make connection calmer and more sustainable.
