You might be, but that's not the reason why real relationships "drain [you] of energy".

> The relationships you don't consider real often makes me happier. They're as meaningful to me as face to face relationships, but a lot less exhausting.

That's more than just being introverted.

What's with those general statements that don't bring any new information? I can't downvote you but if you have constructive feedback please provide it. Don't just write "no, you are wrong" or "there's more to it" statements without any explanation.

Many people say (even just in these comments) that they're introverted but real life relationships are very valuable to them. So either all those people are wrong about being introverts ("no true introvert"), or perhaps those people that are introverted and don't value real life relationships or even see them as a "cost center" are more than just introverted.

That's not a value judgement, btw.

Being introverted and "not valuing" real life relationships are orthogonal things. I can value some real life relationships, but for the most part it's not that I don't value them as much as that I don't value them more than "virtual" relationships for the most part, and they're less draining because it's easier to pace them and shut it out when it's too much.
