>>5732185>Maybe other peeps here don't get it but when you're surrounded by colleagues and peers, as an introvert, you kinda need to be "all go" and that's draining.As someone who used to go out and socialize despite being incredibly introverted, this is true.
I used to go out and hang out with people, but even in groups I wouldn't say or do much unless I'm really comfortable with the people around me. Once I loosen up it doesn't even feel like I'm an introvert. Around new people though, I absolutely am. Often times I usually try to ask questions about whatever they're talking about so I have that as a way to the conversation.
And regardless, I have to mentally prepare myself to socialize like "okay today we are going to talk to people, we're going to be around people" and when I come home, my social battery, so to speak, is completely drained until I recharge and psyche myself up to socialize again.
