Introvert doesn't mean shy or socially anxious. I regularly tell people to shut the fuck up if they're in my space being annoying.
Exactly this, my dad’s an introvert but is the most charismatic person I know. He does great with people, but is the last to arrive and the first to leave since he finds it so draining. He “recharges” when he’s by himself.
That's kinda what I do too. I acknowledge it as an effort that needs to be managed and have strategies to recharge afterwards.
I don't hate being around people but it does take a lot of energy.
I'm the opposite. I'm an extrovert but really shy.
Oh, does that make him MajorEffort? Or GeneralEffort?
He's actually AdmiralEffort.
I did that for a while, but got shit for it everytime and just stopped going out because it wasn't worth the hassle.
