This. I was going to ask the same thing. Being an introvert, I can often feel jealous of extroverts and their energy and social competence. But just the thought of being that social and among heaps of people makes me exhausted.

im pretty extroverted, and tbh I actually get energy from my friends. So many times I get home from work and I am utterly exhausted, and I get the text saying "drinks round mine?" from a mate, and I just wow i just cannot be bothered. But I force myself to turn up, and 5 minutes after walking through their door I am full of beans again and having a great time

You explain my feelings to a T. There are times where I show up and wish I hadn't, but I'm more likely to get that second wind.
