For me, it's definitely trying to keep from moving too much/fidgeting. In my job, I have to sit still in front of another person for hours at a time, and I have to do my best to be grounded and present.

If I don't take my meds, I am exhausted by the end f the day from this particular masking strategy. Some of the others I use, like slowing down my speech, take little effort after years of doing it.

I feel like all of my energy has to go somewhere, so I try to dance and move around during my breaks and before/after work.

What masking strategies take the most out of you?

Ah, yes, the good old dialogue wheel. Just stick with the Paragon options, unless you like shooting and shouting.
