I really feel like just having a long day party with friends and then I can go back to being a homebody for another month.

It could be the fact that I'm being told I can't that makes it torturous and wants me to want to do it even more.

I’m definitely an introvert in that I recharge and enjoy solitude. That being said, I’m not anti-social, and do enjoy being around people I’m close with, which is what makes this challenging, really for anyone. I just don’t get the same personal satisfaction from constantly socializing that extroverts feel.

like

Same. I’m fully charged.

No...I’m still an introvert through and through. That doesn’t mean we don’t like to socialize, just that we don’t enjoy superficial interactions and prefer the company of genuine friends rather than a bunch of strangers/acquaintances. Right now I’m doing virtual hangouts with my friends. So far, so good.

Me too. Many of my friends live far from me anyhow so I’m actually “seeing” them more with these zoom calls.
