Introverts of Lemmy, what do you do when you feel lonely?
First time I’ve been feeling lonely this year, ik this is in stark contrast with the time of the year but I wasn’t able to perform in my school annual function (I really wanted to) and for some reason I have been feeling lonely since, what do you do when you feel like this?
I think a generally good way to think about it is whether someone is energized or drained by spending time with people. I am a social introvert: I like people, but it takes energy to be with people. When I am drained, I need to be alone. My brother is an extreme extrovert: he actually gains energy from being with people (which seems insane to me).
As an introvert I certainly can get lonely. Just might look different/happen in different circumstances to my extroverted brother.
