There is a saying that people are either introverts or extroverts.
But it highly depends on the people around you.
As you become more conscious.
You appreciate time alone more.
Solitude to think, to learn, to grow.
All of the greats valued their time alone.
Something I’ve come to realise is that many people can’t think independently.
They are followers and rely on validation from others.
Large groups of people, can easily have mundane conversations.
They have something missing and need direction from others, to feel complete.
The lack of self-direction.
Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation.
You can become the average of the group.
Everything is dulled down.
Unless the group is high quality people who can think independently, and are highly conscious people and are making each other better.
So sometimes it’s better not to be a group of people who are on a low vibration and are not self actualising.
If you feel worse in the group, than you do alone, it might not be that you are an introvert, but it could be that the group is making you feel bad.
If you feel worse when you are around a certain person than you do alone.
They may be offloading some of their issues on you, and giving it to you. Which makes them feel better, and you worse.
Energy transfer is very real.
Or it could just be that you lack the confidence or social skills to enforce your own boundaries.
Sometimes a craving for solitude, is a positive thing.
We all need space and time to grow independently.
Of course we all need relationships.
But there is a balance.
It highly depends on context.
Who are the people, what is the situation, and it varies by culture etc.,
But this is just one of many lenses to look at it.
