You may have any mobility or sociability level- you will simply have to let the person asking for help know if it is something beyond your abilities, whether it is because you have physical limitations or because they are asking after you have been up for 36 hours straight. You can prevent this second occurrence by observing Passavoy’s Law, mentioned previously in the How to Sign up Link.
