My issue is it just so greatly depends. Certain parties, if I have some sort of pressure on me, I leave tired. Other parties, I leave happy and contented. I might even be tired, but overall happy! When I'm going to a party, I might feel dread, or I might feel exhilarated! And that rarely has an impact on how I feel after the party/gathering. That's largely why I think the introvert/extrovert theory is not super accurate as a theory. In my experience, my energy after a party is not a constant that depends only on my personality. It depends almost entirely on external factors -- what my day was like, where my head is, who I'm meeting, what they're like, what we're doing, etc. And: I can often place myself in a state of mind that makes me more or less amenable to a social gathering, and helps me enjoy it more; which will generally make me feel less tired/more satisfied when I leave.
