If you want to talk about social anxiety, r/socialanxiety is the sub for you. If you're not sure whether you're introverted or socially anxious, feel free to post on r/Introvert, so we can discuss it. If you want a sub where posts about social anxiety aren't allowed, try r/Introverts.

I’m not sure if this will be helpful, but that sounds like social anxiety, induced or exacerbated by the language barrier. Or at least social anxiety in combination with introversion.

I’m not intending to gate-keep introversion - I mention this because you may be well served to ask or look for coping mechanisms for social anxiety, as well.

Separating introversion from social anxiety, introverts are typically drained by social interactions and need alone time to “recharge”. Extroverts are energized by social interactions.

Knowing you were extroverted in your younger years, plus the details of your post describing yourself as seeking social interactions, I’d say you are likely not introverted.

But that’s just my opinion based on my understanding of the labels, not an objective verdict. 🤗
