but it is really draining when it shouldn't be.
Nope it is draining for introverts.
Your definition of introvert is a bit off too. Introverts ARE mentally drained by social interaction. I am. And I am invigorated by alone time. I am an introvert, but me and all my introvert friends don't have any trouble talking to people, starting conversations, small talk, parties, even public speaking.
In fact the people I know that do have trouble with those things strike me as shy and socially anxious extroverts.
