      So true… I’m super shy and introverted. My extroverted friends who essentially adopted me are the brightest parts of my life. They’ve allowed me to experience things I never would have and are incredibly patient and understanding when I need me time.

    It goes even beyond that.

    Extroverts are for all intents and purposes vampires.

    They aren’t “rescuing” you. They’re capturing you, so they can feed on you.

            The concept is that people in their day-to-day lives, and particularly when dealing with stressful situations, find themselves emotionally drained and have to “recharge.”

            The exact distinction between introverts and extroverts is that introverts “recharge” by being alone, while extroverts “recharge” by being around other people.

            Or more precisely, introverts not only don’t get their emotional energy from others but can’t get it with others around, while extroverts not only do get their emotional energy from others but can’t get it when they’re alone.

            And what that means is that introverts gain emotional energy by manufacturing and stockpiling it, while extroverts gain emotional energy by draining it from others.

            Or more simply, that extroverts are vampires and introverts are their cattle.
