>Because as far as I can tell people mostly gain/lose energy based on whether they like the people they're interacting with

I was responding to this comment, which seemed to imply that introverts don't have a problem spending time with people they like. Or, at least, they don't have a problem with it any more than non-introverts.

I'm saying that's not the case (but it's possible I misunderstood what you were saying to begin with).

I think introverts both gain energy from interactions with loved ones, and gain energy from being alone, and I think that's the same for extroverts. It's different types of "energy." I just don't buy that the simplified dichotomy is a good way of categorising, even if it's in some sense a spectrum. It misrepresents how human psychology works.

Yeah, and that makes sense if you know neither Myers nor Briggs was a psychologist.
