The few times I've tried CBD oil it turned me into an extrovert like a light switch. Normally being quite introverted, I found the experiences interesting but exhausting.
Another product which I've found has a very similar effect on me, albeit weaker, is 5-HTP supplements taken orally.
Sometimes I'd take a large 5-HTP dose then go out to used book stores, talking to everyone I encountered. It's fun to occasionally visit being that person, but it's such foreign territory I'm not particularly good at it and by the end of the day it feels like I've been working at some horrible, inane, unfamiliar job. I don't know how extroverts find the energy for all the interaction while still getting shit done.
CBD was probably having other effects on me, but the extroversion was the most prominent from what I recall.

It sounds like you're still introverted, even while drug-induced into being more social (perhaps you're conflating shyness with introversion?). An extrovert would feel energized by the socializing, not exhausted, which answers your later question.
