you're not supposed to feel tired after social intereactions that is from your consent or has not been forced upon you. so either you're forcing yourself to intereact. or you're hiding your real self from these social situations which is still forcing yourself to do something you don't want to do. pay attention to this.

Here’s some advise: 1. Find out what interests other people individually (especially introverts) and expand on their interesting ideas. Read the room of how they are feeling and don’t make light of their ideas with out of place sarcasm. Don’t drift the conversation towards your own interests or make the conversation about you all the time. Once you do speak, try and make it relatable to the person. Measure how much you’re speaking to others. If you’re doing 70% to 90% of the talking, you might be messing up. You can be the most interesting person in the room in groups by directing conversations. For example, play a socializing game where you all have to tell 2 truths about yourself with one being made up. The other people will have to guess which one isn’t true. After everyone guesses, your input is definitively advised so long as it’s not critical. Try to ingratiate people and keep criticism down to virtually 0. If you have a hard time picking up on social cues, this might be very difficult. I don’t think extroverts do this as well as introverts. Just think, why an introvert would want to come out to an even only to be put down or criticized when they could be at home working on themselves peacefully lol.

Oh I'm an introvert. I was so shy growing up and up until my 40s I had anxiety attacks being around people. I had to do it though. But get to know me 1 on 1 and I'll never shut up kind of out of nervousness and being alone so much. I was taught through counselling years back to force myself to approach people & talk to them. Now despite my wanting to be alone, I'm friendly, and nice to everyone I meet in stores, on the street anywhere.

It depends on the group.

Walking through a crowd to me is the same as walking through the woods. People are just objects I have to navigate around. Every so often I meet one that's interesting and I enjoy thier company for a short time. I have 4 neighbors that live within site of my house. Lived here 27 years. I met the 1 once and the others I haven't spoken to in at least 18 years. Lol we just wave. Perfect.

So true. I'm so more comfortable being alone. I pick and choose which group interactions. They are very exhausting. I have migraines and being with other people, more than not, I end up with one. I've always said that if Heaven is real, I'd rather be alone with two past pets. 🤔 Thank you.

It really depends on my mood. Sometimes I need interaction. Sometimes I need alone time.

It's more peaceful being an introvert. I prefer to be around people I know, like immediate family or one person at a time. But since family has passed, I am usually alone. Someone once said that solitude is a luxury. It definitely is better than social anxiety.

A friend of mine thinks he's more introverted than me but when we go to a get together he's usually among the last to leave where I'm ready to go after an hour. I think it varies though even for me. Sometimes I want to be social and I might be the last to leave, most of the time though just the idea of going wears me out.

I used to be an introvert and now that's balancing out it's only through interacting that I have the opportunity to practice the stoic mindset of Courage, Temperance, Justice, and Wisdom.

as an introvert, and as someone who does a lot of self reflection, I have come to the realization that introverts dont actually want to be alone. We dont want social interaction, but we dont want to be secluded or closed off to others. The best advice I can give to an extrovert wanting to befriend an introvert: Sit by us, but shut up. Not to be rude, but we like silence, and we like you at the same time. Dont make us choose.

I get energetic by social interaction and feeling connected to others. However i have always had a shy personality so while i feel happy and energetic by interacting with others and working with and feeling connected to others, i feel exhausted by being outgoing and being the one to approach people.

I have no idea how people don’t get drained from other people 😭

I am happy to spend time alone so I can marinate all information I gather/ get when being around a lot of people. I am a nurse. I've learned so much about life by working with humans in many different situations in life. I don't know what that makes me. Feels like introverted extrovert.

According to the free online Myers Briggs personality test, I am 100% introverted. I still like to spend time with my really close friends, but that's about it. I know some of my cousins, but I usually don't want to interact with them. Tomorrow I have a wedding to go to, and I'm miserable just thinking about it. Usually when I get home from a wedding or something I free an extreme sense of freedom and I get my energy back.

The issue is if the group is healthy or I am forced into interactions I hate. It I enjoy it, I am energized. If I am forced, I am drained.

Hard core extrovert here. 😂 I love talking to people, learning about them. Strangers are the most fun. Getting to know them, their thoughts, ideas, where they have been. I have heard so many interesting stories in my life. It helps me to understand others, judge them less, have more compassion and empathy. I make friends everywhere I go. I love people! I find them fascinating. And better yet, I love to help them, especially with things they would like to do but think they can’t. It’s why I became a coach and teacher. People who believe, achieve! So I make them believe they can, and then they do. ✌️😊

There are also shy extroverts who love being in the middle of crowds but cannot express themselves

It is exhausting to talk to family or friends where most of the time you have to argument your point of view and most of the time people are un conscious about real life!!

It's so good to know this coz I just find people exhausting!! Need to be quiet and my own thoughts more than have people in my space

Being around people absolutely drains me mentally, and then physically. I use my job as a tool for/to exercise my social skills, and cope with my social anxiety of being in public and around people. I am so much more absorbed into my solitude, that I am and have lost interest in friendships and relationships. Any moment I have of being lonely, is extremely fleeting. As soon as I weigh the options of solitude vs company, I will choose solitude 9/10 odds. I'm not sure if this is healthy or not, but my life is far more peaceful having no one to create disturbances

I must be nuts cause I'm both. I look forward to large parties and seeing friends etc. Some days i use kiosk or machines to do everything because I don't want to hear or speak with any humans.

I don't want to go out socialising but once I'm there I enjoy it. I love my own company.

This is why I'm watching this on video instead of in that room 😂

I'm ok with being around other people, (even ones i dont know) and talking to *some* of them, it can get exhausting after awhile, but I do enjoy conversation, just not all the time, i do like my alone time in the comfort of my own solitude, so I'd say I'd fall in the middle somewhere.

im in a friend group(4 of us, including myself), and i feel forced to interact with them sometimes, i smile so much that my cheeks start hurting at the end of the school. Basically, its exhausting.

After 20 years of being alone even an extrovert turns into an introvert

I didn't realise how much of an introvert I am, but I do find myself in the bathroom taking a breather at larger gatherings like pubs etc.

For me, it totally depends on the group I am with. Or not with. When I was a kid, going on vacation with my family was pretty awful. But getting on a crowded bus to summer camp was stellar.

Oh that's why I got rid of that SOCIAL BUTTERFLY

If it is a small group and I am engaged and interacting, then I become very energized. If I am in a large crowd and do not know all of the people, then I will become socially anxious, reclusive, and incredibly exhausted afterwards. Can’t tell if I’m an introvert or just have social anxiety- or both.

I'm pretty far on the extrovert side of things, so I'm always trying to be conscious of the fact that the social energy that I love saps the life out of the introverts in my life. I always feel a little bad when I get really energetic and excited for something then realize I've completely drained my friend

I can't imagine how one can be energised by being in a group of people

it depends on what I want. I can be completely at ease in the company of others as well as being by myself.

Being in a group of more than 4 or so is definitely a chore. I don't think I would ever get cabin fever unless animals didn't exist (and I'm assuming there's no internet at the cabin.)

It completely exhausts me, but I can not avoid it.

I would have LOVED to listen to this man’s lectures in college. Might not have dropped out 😂

I can’t wait to go home after being with a group and it’s there that I again and again appreciate having a small space of my own …

I'm an extrovert but I start exhausted.. too exhausted to fill up my own social tank some days lol

When the party is at a Place I live I take breaks in my room lol. Away from home I’ll take a “bathroom break”, go outside for fresh air, “stand in a hallway and “look at art”

"Then you have to go home and be by yourself for like two weeks." Yep sounds like me lol.

That's me. People drain my soul. Some more than others.

The social exchange with people I can't really stand is exhausting. Being around people who are charismatic and can hold a conversation is energizing, and I don't want the moment to end. I love solitude to an extent and reading and painting, which are very introverted hobbies, but enjoy the outdoors and help those who need it as regularly as possible. So, I have no clue what category I belong in because moderation is very important to me.

Wonderfully said. I absolutely agree.

I find it hard to be in large groups just because I feel so much energy from people and it’s very draining. I am one of those people that show up make an appearance and leave as quickly as I can.

it energizes me if they’re people I like, if not; it drains me

I'm definitely in the happy middle; but I choose my environment wisely. OK in any situation, never feel pressure; but allergic to stupid. ✌️

Depends on the group

I enjoy being with myself during the day. Knitting. Candles tea. Fireplace. Then i look forward to seeing my husband coming home from work.

Depends on my mood, the people and the scenario

Answer to his question - yes! It is both energizing and exhausting.

Worth noting there is a special middle ground. The people who are energized by interacting with the people they know and like (aka friends) but drained by meeting new people. I am in that group and it's often overlooked

I think I toe the line on this one. I prefer to be with people whom I hold close and dear and get energized by them. It’s a very small group of people at any given time. Maybe 5 at most. And yes I will need to recharge or not be in a group for at least the next weekend. But even my family whom I love I still prefer at least an hour or two alone each day to recharge. I will say I don’t get lonely easily. I can be alone for long periods of time and I am okay with that. But I don’t do new years or holiday office parties like other people. I go I say hi. Have a drink then usually leave before anyone is even done their dinner. That is stressful for me being in a social setting with large numbers of people who I would say are barely acquainted with me drains the crap out of me.

And I'm just don't like hanging out people just to be superficial frivolous I like dedication and lively purpose.

In my fifties now . I love being alone !!
