Mostly an auditory processing fatigue thing for me. If I can isolate and listen to music for a while, I can bounce back.

I'm not sure. Mostly because I've never reached to a stage where i actually crave being around other people and in day to day activities. I have to be around other people, so recovering is kinda irrelevant.

Depends on the people. I never really need to recover from being around my brother, for example. OTOH, my mom is exhausting to be around for more than 30 minutes. I like having at least a night to recover after visiting for a day. I don't do external silence tho.

My sister drains me of my energy for people like an energy vampire from What We Do in the Shadows.

Depends, if there is enough socializing and activity sometimes I needs days to recover.

Depends on what happens but half a day at the shortest. If a meltdown happened, like 3-5 days.

Too long. Feels like having run a marathon. Luckily i can take my time as long as I want, wifey is the same. We both need quiet after some people-action ๐Ÿ˜ She like people though, so it's even harder for her.
