I’ve never really understood the idea of “introvert” and “extrovert” as two binary categories that people easily divide into anyway. Since it comes down to social energy, and I don’t think we’d consider “people who have a lot of energy” vs “people who don’t have much energy” with nothing in between as particularly helpful categories to pigeonhole everyone into if we were talking about physical energy. Like, not just as a present state, but as a whole static personality type?
It just seems very limited and weird.
I like to think of it as where you get your energy from rather than how much energy you have. Extroverts get energy from being with other people and being on their own drains them. Whereas introverts need time alone to recharge and being with other people is draining.
