My extroverted friend was so bad during Covid sometimes he would go to business just to be able to talk to someone.

People used to look at me really strangely when I said "I'd been hoping for this since I was fourteen" about the stay home measures during Covid.
I think I'm reasonably fun at parties/events/neighbourhood conversations, and I'll go, have a good time, converse and joke around and whatever, but then I need a couple months to come back from it. I have near zero desire to be with people. It's exhausting.
There are 3 or 4 people in the world that I spend time with that don't make me feel like that. Good thing my wife is usually one of them.
I do wonder whether much of the introversion/extroversion problem boils down to those who have a rich inner life and can become lost in thought for hours and those who require constant external stimulation. It is likely a spectrum.
I have never felt any reason to have it any other way.
I already read that humans are "supposed" to be social, but then why am I happiest alone. I don't worry about it and I just live the way I like to live and it's worked out great.
