The Trap of "I am not an Extrovert"

I've never been able to distinguish this from simply being shy. More shyness means more stress in certain social interactions and stress is tiring.

Moreover, I'm pretty sure you could take the most extroverted person around and take them out of their social element and they too would tire out.

And vice versa, some of the most introverted people don't get tired out by their spouse.

The difference between introversion and shyness is the difference between exhaustion and fear. They can influence each other (being afraid all the time is exhausting, for example), but they are ultimately separate emotions that need not coexist or have any relationship to each other.
