Good luck with your self- challenge. I'm the opposite, a true introvert. It's not that I don't have friends who's company I enjoy (in measured doses), but I find the presence of others exhausting, and need time in solitude to recharge from it.
I'm kinna inbetween, I turn crazy when I'm not around people, but I also get stressed when I'm around too many people or too long.
I love hanging out with my friends, but it takes energy. Definitely need to recharge alone.
Definitely need a balance of both. Different energies fuel different parts of your existence.
