An introduction to the introvert social battery

People think that introverts are incapable of basic human interaction and emotion, like we are social recluses because we seemingly don't like to talk and hate everyone.

Maybe in purely social settings I'm an introvert...because it can be so uninteresting to me.

Yesterday I had a productive hour-long meeting with the Alamogordo city manager to discuss gathering data, from various offices, to try and make a financial data map like the ones shown here:

I then spoke to folks in other offices to lay more groundwork.

That interested me, and I was animated and engaged.

Put me in a room where no new ideas are percolating and I'm getting bored or walking out the door.

Maybe I'm an information/learning seeker?

Definitely. Spent 5 days with family, 2 weeks ago, being social. It was great fun, but (as so often) it was way more than I can handle. Did it anyway because I only see them once every couple of years. The result? A good time, most of the time, and 2 days on the couch, knock-out with the curtains closed, after they left. Even though the weather changed and became sunny and warm, I couldn't get outside for anything longer than a 10 minute grocery trip. Totally drained.

i WISH I could just go POOF instead of getting more irrationally miserable the longer I can't get away.

Precisely. I love people, but they’re exhausting. Energy allocation is key for me, and I’m highly discerning when it comes to who gets how much of my energy. Also: I’m skilled at interacting with people, but it’s exceedingly depleting. Afterwards, I require hours of solitude to recharge/recover. Heaven for me is being alone parallel w someone else. Intersecting orbits, but distinct.

I think I might be in this 🤔 it's not someting I had really thought of before, but it might help me understand myself better.
Not really sure what to make of it yet, but perhaps it might get me somewhere.

So - thanks, I guess 🙏

When the battery is low my allergy comes out 😂 Recharging my battery by hugging/cuddling my family is my favourite time above anything else 🥰

I am an introvert, and I always wondered what would happen when I reached the end of my social reserves.

This is me, I do a job where I talk to hundreds of people a day, so when I quit, I just want to peace myself out of people.

my friends call that my "homing beacon", and when it goes off I have to go home, no matter where I am or what I'm doing.
