    Exactly this, my dad’s an introvert but is the most charismatic person I know. He does great with people, but is the last to arrive and the first to leave since he finds it so draining. He “recharges” when he’s by himself.

      That’s kinda what I do too. I acknowledge it as an effort that needs to be managed and have strategies to recharge afterwards.

      I don’t hate being around people but it does take a lot of energy.
