> Introverts, fight me. Unhelpful. > I simply cannot comprehend how something as enjoyable as spending time with people you like can be so mentally taxing? It's not a perfect analogy, but you might as well blame people for eventually needing to sleep. It's super enjoyable to be awake. What could possibly make you want to stop what you're doing, only to go into a dark room and do NOTHING for eight whole hours?! Some people are also tortured by silence, and they simply MUST talk non stop. To other people, never just having a quiet moment is torture. Are you the former? If you never again in your life had two awake seconds without someone talking, would that be heaven or hell? > I tend to think that it’s because of the attitude that implies that the one has to waste mental energy on having a good time. You said "I simply cannot comprehend[…]". How about you stick to that, instead of baselessly saying introverts must simply have an attitude problem?
