Introvert w/ extroverted friends
Sometimes I get really frustrated b/c I feel like my extroverted friends don't understand me fully. Like they don't recognize when my social battery is depleted and I just need to be alone, so they take it to mean that I'm just not having fun, which I am but im just tired now. I guess im more mad at myself for not explaining it to them but part of me feels like they won't fully understand how I am.
I get it, sometimes introverted and extroverted people experience reality and social interaction in ways so different that it seems difficult to reconcile them. However, I believe that true friends are able to accept and respect the differences, particularly when they are given the chance to understand better. I'd say it's worth trying to explain them how you feel. Even if they don't feel the same and it's hard for them to understand, they can still acknowledge and respect your feelings. If you tell them exactly how you feel in certain situations, they will not misinterpret your reactions anymore. And you will still be great friends!
