well it's not really a binary choice. it's a continuum between introversion and extraversion

  I think you missed the point of the comment you replied to. It's possible to be extremely introverted, preferring no explicit social interactions, while still getting a noticable peace and energy uplift from being able to just watch and be surrounded by other people doing their things. Think of someone quiet in a coffee shop or library who never talks to anyone, but likes being there, not for the coffee or the books, but for the ambience.

    Exactly this. I moved to New York in my early 20s, which would seem a bad choice for an introvert, but I loved just sitting and watching it all go by. It was like being in a human circus but you are in the audience rather than in the circus ring.

    my point was exactly what you describe. it’s not clear what being introvert means. it’s just a word people throw around. being quiet doesn’t mean you want to live in a dungeon, as you say. everyone is different
