Totally agree. For me answering a question on SO is an energy boost and used to do that earlier on my career. Now I answer questions on my OSS projects githubs.

On the other hand Email, Twitter and similar are quite draining and only do that when I really need to. So even "socializing" can be quite divided and mean different things for different people.
