Many of the times introverted people want to stay home rather than spend the time with people that makes no sense.
People don’t understand that their hearts have been beating out of their chest, nerves were on edge. And thoughts racing, and the introverts are on the verge of crying most of the time a day.
This all happens because they stretch themselves socially,because they have friends who needs their energy.
And they give them their energy and time because they love them and it tend to make them sad as a result.
Without Alone Time,Introverts Crash And Burn
Introverts just want to be alone.As it is always not true,and it reduces them to an antisocial person.
They just need a lot more time than their extroverted counterparts.
Even they are socially good,have a friendly nature. And outgoing but they need enough time alone to recharge themselves otherwise they crash and burn.And that’s not a good sight.
What extroverts think of introvert people if they hangout with them is that they’re not having fun.Without getting recharged they become negative,irritable.
And a bad fellow who is just counting down time to get rid of the hell.
It’s not because they don’t love friends,rather they appreciate the deep connections they have with their friends.
They turn the invitation down because their body physically needs to recharge as it gets low.
Some of the times it takes more than a weekend to recharge again depending upon how socially active they were,and in all cases their body needs to get their energy tanks full.
How to Handle This Type of Situation
The hard thing is that when introverts get the kind of reaction that they may be tempted to respond to in unhealthy ways.
They may address to people pleasing or agreeing to socialize past our limits.
They may retreat inward feeling hurt and misunderstood,even cutting their friendship completely.
In order to maintain good relationships, introverted people need to ignore the reactions(negative) they get from extroverted people by setting firm boundaries.
They tend to explain their needs as introverts to people and help them understand why they are different.
If they still push them for more they had to say no (as there is no other options).
It will all come down to mutual respect for one another,regardless of our differences.

For introverted people needing alone time is not a choice for them, it’s a phenomenon for them.
Introverted people have a low dopamine compared to the extroverted people making them the quiet ones among the crowd and more sensitive to feel it’s good effects.
