    Literally the only defining characteristic is how much energy you have after socializing. The rest of this is total bs. I love being social if I’m in the mood, but I’m still an introvert because it wears me out.

      Even introverts can learn how to relax in social situations, but the additional stimulus can be overwhelming for sure.

      Exactly this. I am a very social person when among people, but pay a price for it afterwards, as I’m drained of energy.

      Introverts gains energy by being by them selves. Extroverts needs to be with other persons to gain energy,

      That said, most people are not neccessarily completely one or the other.

      I understand where the misconception comes from though. Seems likely that being introvert often leads to not be very social since you’re “punished” for it by your own mind.
