What I've done in life as an introvert is learn how to stay inside my own mind even when I'm with people. There are lots of occasions where locationally you're with others but socially you're not required to really interact with them. Learn which ones these are, and you can recharge on the go. Also, a lot of the time social interaction consists of things like making small talk and greeting other people. It's kind of fun to treat these little gestures as a game, making some kind of system of it and making them the conversational equivalent of muscle memory for yourself. What drains me is having to actively pay attention to the problem of interaction. It's a lot easier once you can do it without thinking.
