"Not all introverts are shy and quiet. I tend to be loud and outgoing with people I know and/or like, for a certain amount of time. Then I need to crawl into my hole and recharge. Interaction with more than one person at a time exhausts me, and I can’t deal with more than one social event a week. The fact that I sometimes I talk a lot, I can hold eye contact and don’t completely suck at small talk doesn’t make me any less introverted."
Yyes! It's the same for me AND my wife. Luckily I am married to an introvert. So we can enjoy times together & times for ourself. I love it.
