So I just found out that I'm an introvert! I was really confused for a while as to why I was always so tired in social situations. I drained really really fast. I do have thyroid issues that aid the fatigue, but now that I'm on medication I've still been really tired.
It's always been hard for me to spend the energy hanging out with friends. It's difficult because I am a really social person. I only look forward to meeting with people if I'm at top energy, which isn't very often. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody else had this problem? I know it can be really lonely, and the internet is an introvert's best friend. =)
Also, I've learned that the stigmas from the word "introvert" are so wrong! We are not necessarily loners, although that can be a byproduct from society's expectations. Our batteries simply drain from people, and we need to recharge by being alone. An extrovert recharges by being with people. Although disorders can stem from being alone and becoming depressed because of the stigmas, that is the only difference between introverts and extroverts. Our brains our literally wired differently!
