When I'm hypomanic, it's all the sudden, I'm a popular guy who is making friends left and right at the bar and any social setting. After awhile, I go into a depressed state, people see me as a downer and just stop talking to me. Then in my normal mood state, I don't act like I snorted some cocaine, so they just don't see me as a fun person to hang out with. I'm a boring introvert with social anxiety who likes movies and video games. But when I'm hypomanic, I somehow can make 10 new friends in a single night without even trying. Most of them seem to be temporary to my hypomanic state, they like vibing off the energy. When I'm not that energetic person, they just drift away pretty quick. I don't know how much of this is my perception of self in depressed and hypomanic times, but it's certainly something I've noticed.
