So what if I both get energy from and am exhausted by people? I go crazy if I spend too much time alone AND too much time with people.
It's like a crazy dysregulated roller coaster thing
The term is "ambiverted".
In my case I think it's "AuDHD" 🤣
And I suspect that whether/how much I feel the need to mask plays a big factor.
Mood and same, yeah. XD
That actually sounds like you might be both tbh. I would have thought would be a good thing, though. Like you're able to recharge from both AC & DC, to continue the battery metaphor lol.
Also maybe I'm wrong but I think most introverts need some minimum level of socializing after a while, even if it's draining, the are many benefits that outweigh the energy expenditure.
