This article completely misses the point. Introverts are not anti-social as the author seems to assume - we love socializing and feel happy socializing just like the article says. The problem is, we get extremely tired after socializing and need time alone to let our brains recharge.

Believe me, if they come up with a drug that eliminates the need for alone time to recharge I would be at my doctor's office in a heartbeat. It's honestly a pain in the ass to be enjoying myself hanging out with friends and feel that familiar fatigue coming on. I can tell when I'm getting close to needing time away to rest and a lot of times I'm not ready to quit hanging out with people.

I used to think this until I realized the tiredness came from being passive and overwhelmed with absorbing information. I get an extra boost of energy when I have an active role in the conversation despite my tendency for introversion.

Be the centre of attention and you will also gain momentum in a social setting.

Yeah I'm definitely introverted as well. I love to hang out with out people, party, all that jazz, but definitely need a good amount of time by myself each day.

I'm prescribed Focalin, which is an ADHD medicine. I don't have ADHD, but it helps me focus. But time I'm on in, I pretty much completely reverse my introversion. I have a "need" to talk to other people. It's amazing, how I can easily feel one way or the other, and how I can know what both type of people feel. I get the same feeling with Ritalin and Adderall, too.

You should an ADHD medicine once, and lemme know if it's not just me. It does kill my appetite, though, so I only take it to study or if I have a big party to go to.

Introversion/extroversion is something which interests me. I lean more toward the introverted side (an introverted Redditor? There's a novel concept). The theory behind introversion/extroversion that I follow says people have different needs for external stimulation (in psychology terms, arousal). Those who need more arousal tend toward extroversion, those who don't tend toward introversion.

What makes people introverts/extroverts?

How to care for introverts/extroverts - also talks about theory behind it

Not the most relevant sub but a good read none the less.
