So my basic understanding of introversion vs extroversion is that introverts need to recharge after social interaction rather than extroverts which feel recharged by it.
The thing is up until the age of about 15/16(f) I did used to feel recharged by and crave social interaction but now I mostly feel drained by and avoid it (I’m now 29)
I had a lot of traumatic experiences in my late teens that begun when I was around 15/16 and ended in my early 20s so I can no longer tell if the fact that people drain me is because I am an introvert or if I am drained from the fact I spend 99% of social interactions on high alert.
Sorry if I’m posting this in the wrong sub, just looking for basic advice on how to tell the difference between trauma response & introversion/extroversion
