For me, physical exercise helps with "thing-y" stuff but not "people-y" stuff. Meditation doesn't help me with anything (despite, or maybe because of, having grown up with a parent who was obsessed with that kind of spiritual woo). It basically just comes down to it taking a lot of mental energy for me to be "sociable", which then gets exponentially worse when I'm also trying to be "professional" and represent my company to a client.
