hot take: if you think you are an introvert because you find social interaction draining, consider the hypothesis that it is the accompanying anxiety that is draining and if you can get rid of that social interaction is super fun and fulfilling

Maybe. But it’s hard to find social situations that are free-flowing and pressure free enough to not be anxiety-inducing.

Definitely true. But practice/repeated exposure decrease social anxiety over the long term, whereas if you’re just an introvert there’s not really any reason to do lots of social interaction you don’t enjoy.
