Beyond small talk: Study finds people enjoy deep conversations with strangers

My layman's understanding of introversion vs extroversion is with regards to how people feel energized.

The commenter above might really enjoy talking to strangers, but it might be exhausting and require some alone time to recharge.

Separately, one-on-one conversations fit well with the "introvert" label, as opposed to socialising more in a group setting.

I am fully capable of attending a gathering and socializing for hours or having long conversations, but it exhausts me and I need a lot of recharge time afterwards.

Definitely prefer six out of seven nights a week at home with just my family. Partner definitely likes getting out more, so she routinely walks with friends, etc.

Exactly, this sounds like a story I could have in my life, and I'm also a complete introvert. I could socialize but basically my battery drains a lot quicker than my peers.

You hit the nail on the head. This is 100% correct.
