Am I the only person who feels drained in social events, like weddings, parties etc.?

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
Of course not.
I despise formal parts, dancing and when music is too loud.
Food and interesting conversations with strangers are fine though.
@CrazyMusicLover I am actually the same

Right there with you. Fortunately (and in some ways unfortunately) I don't actually get invites to any.
The joys of being an introvert!
@mangomonkey wish I don't get invites as well

No, of course not! You're probably an introvert. 👍
@Fluffybull people in social gatherings

@darkknightt Just don't go.
@Fluffybull wished more people think like you. There are few events that you can't skip

Good book and well worth the read if you are a fellow "loner":

[b]"Party of One -- The Loners' Manifesto"[/b] by Anneli Rufus.

Available on Amazon.

@Kirin4OTK I read that one!

No, I feel it too. After spending a lot of time being social I need a full day or so to recover.

It's something that I will do, because otherwise I'd never go anywhere! But yes, it feels stressful at times.
I’m like that but I’m trying to become more social. It’s unnatural though
@BeefySenpie it does seem so

It’s part of being an introvert, you need time to yourself to recharge.

Absolutely not. But personally I have that issue only when I'm sober 😶
You are not the only introvert on this planet XD
Torsten · 36-40, M
nope not the only one. I hate going to events like that. I am really anti social and just dont like people in general.
I have a small group of friends and family i enjoy being around and every so on i meet someone i like the company of, but other than that i avoid stuff like you mentioned as best as i can.
Just talking on a phone makes me feel drained
prettyblue · 22-25, F
same here 😐 I'm mostly there for the food
@prettyblue ohh I get you
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
Felt 🙌🏻

I'm guarded when I first meet a group but, unless they're douchenozzles, I can find a few to chat with
I never do. But I don't like entertaining for too long so I think I'm a little bit introverted.
I wouldnt know i dont go to them
@ExperienceDLT the very fact that you don't go explains itself that you are introvert
