social battery is so real, forced myself to go to a school reunion, spent longer than I expected, drinks kept me social for a while, but then I got asked if I wanted to go to a nightclub and I was like internally “dude, I already spent hours at this bar, don’t ask too much of me” lol

I went to the mandatory office Christmas party and was "social". Then I got invited along on a bar hop. Yeah, no

[@daphpunkk]

Bro, my social battery was out for a whole week once : I had a trip to Greece with my highschool and with like 30 other students, and I didn't know anyone except for two people that were in my class but that I didn't talk to or didn't like. So I forced myself to socialize a little, during this whole 1 week trip, for exemple when I had to share a hotel room with 2 other people that I didn't know, or when we had to eat in the restaurant. The only time I had alone during this trip was like, 20 minutes once when I was the only one wanting to stay alone in my hotel room while the others visited the city. Plus I was tired and a little sick even before the trip, so my condition after the trip was even worse, but I was quite relieved when I was finally back home 😅

[@empathyisonlyhuman7816]

That sounds more like social insecurity than introversion. It implies that you want to join in, get angry when your excluded, but then experience fear or aversion when you do have the opportunity. Unlike the many of the assertions in this video introversion is more about how a person recharges their energy reserves. For the extrovert, the dopamin that accompanies social interactions is a strong motivator. Introverts are more sensitive to acetylcholine, a reward endorphin closely tied to memory. Introvert can find the same levels of happiness alone that an extrovert requires company to achieve. But with your post you have hit upon a truth that is often times not understood. And that is the fact that there is more to a person's personality than simply introversion and extroversion. We read that, and think, well of course. But it is amazing how often we need to be reminded of the obvious. In the MBTI model of personality makeup, four factors are looked at that predict very well how a person might behave and feel. That system has been expanded to a fifth factor that deals with how actively a person takes action upon their choices. In each of these factors there are, on a sliding scale, those who tend either more cerebral or more carnal. And by carnal I simply mean social up to and including the more carnal of activities. And so with the addition of this fifth element we can see that there are indeed not only sixteen but rather thirty two distinct personality manifestations. Every one of these manifestations save for just one, has some factor that tends toward the carnal. And thus we can now see clearly why many if not most introverts both want to engage socially but simultaneously shy away from what part of their personality is driving them toward. And it tells us the role personality plays in the propagation of our species. Thirty one out of thirty two distinct personality types and tend toward, at least in part, the carnal end of the spectrum. The one personality type that is not at all tended toward the carnal, is the INTJ-A. The takeaway here is, that is can be enormously helpful to know and understand your particular personality type. When you do this, it's much easier to find strategies that will help you better deal with conflicts such as the one you describe. Either by allowing you to overcome your tendency toward finding a way out of things your invited to. Or by simply embracing the chance for solitude without regret or resentment. #endhatrednow

[@maleineperle1770]

Being an introvert is also being overly cautious around your friends, because you never feel like they care about what you have to say. You begin saying something, they look bored, you panick and shorten whatever you were saying to the max. And when you find friends who really listen, you take up all their time speaking and it's hard to stop, because you're so happy.

[@jackiearnolds]

I had to practice excitement to better fit into social standards. You have to really work on the tone and pitch of your voice, it's where the secret lies. For every voice it will be different, but a slight rising of pitch will help. Also, I practiced a lot in the mirror with face expressions and that's what I find works for me: a faint smile will look more genuine than a broad smile, but don't go too Monalisa so people don't think it's a sarcastic smile, curve your lips a bit and show some teeth (maybe a third to half depending on their size, what looks more natural); widen your eyes a bit, like you're a bit surprised, but not full on shock, you don't want the whites of your eyes showing above or under your eyes when you do that or you might look terrified, and you can try to very slightly rise your eyebrows with it so it feels more natural, maybe half a pinky finger or less. To accompany, if you're in close range you can: shake their hand if it's a professional setting, like someone telling you they got a promotion, but keep your hand firm, don't squeeze their hand too tight and move it twice with conviction; give about two pats in the shoulder if it's someone you're not very close too, like a friend of a friend, as it's not a very personal contact; if it's a friend, give three pats in the opposite shoulder, in a side hug way; if you're up to it, give then a hug; if you're not up for contact, just move your hand a bit or put one arm over the other (folded, not crossed) and pat your own arm close to the elbow, fold and unfold your arms, it looks more natural than it sounds. A safe choice in contact is also to read what other people are saying. Use for reference an extrovert that has a similar relationship than you to that person (family, friend, acquaintance, coworker) and follow their lead, so if they shake hands, do it too, and so on. So this is my tutorial on how to look naturally excited, I hope this might help with social anxiety if anyone feels like trying. It is a lot of work in the beginning, but it comes naturally once you get used to it.
