I’m pretty sure you’re right. Nowadays I tend to be fairly modal: if I’m “in my head” then social contact is bizarre and disruptive and I can’t come off like a human being. If I’m in the other mode, social contact is easy but I’m probably not doing deep work. As a younger engineer, I was locked in my head and all social experiences were difficult.
