Prometheus Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Introverted 100%, I have a socialization gauge that maxes out and then I just want to be alone to recharge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I'm expelling energy just trying to make things work with new people. It's always been easier for me to shut down and isolate myself for a while until I get that energy back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 If only more people understood this. There would probably be less fights. I know I've had several really dumb fights with family over me not feeling up to socializing or wanting to socialize on a particular day. Or I would say I'm going back to my room when I was burnt out and would be told that I couldn't go back to my room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ April Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Definitely an introvert here as well. Totally understand about that social gauge that was mentioned and needing time alone to recharge (which I usually don't get, at least not in the way that I need). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mask as extremely extroverted and I am very good at being chatty and stuff but yeah it definitely drains me. Good example from a couple days ago. I was out of town a few nights at a Cybersecurity convention. Required me to talk to about ~50 people one on one (vendors) over the course of 8 hours. I then went on to speak about a couple topics at a Q&A panel (I wasn't on the panel but I wanted to respond to a question with a different approach than the panel was taking). That was in front of about I'd say ~300+ people. Thankfully my comments went over well. Afterwards I was getting a lot of questions about it and I did answer them all. I was suppose to go to the bar for a social thing from 6-8p but I was just done. Got changed, went down there, took one look at the group of people and was like "yeah nah" got some food and went back to my room and hung out till I could hang with my homegirl on the phone later that evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
