Being social is great and all, but if you're an introvert, you can only take so much before you need to take some time to recharge. Meeting new people, opening up and dealing with crowds can really wear a person out.

The Introvert Going-Out Survival Kit

A cell phone (for distracting when things get too much)
A friend (to insure you'll never be the odd man out)
A plan (to ease anxiety and have potential exit time)
A drink (alcoholic or non; just holding something can be comfortable)
A day off afterwards (if there's a crowd, recharging will be needed)

When it comes to being an introvert, there's no doubt that too many nights out in a row will drain, exhaust and overwhelm.

Never feel guilty about needing to recharge.

It's okay to say no to plans, it's okay to have plans where you just kind of coexist in the same space with someone and it's okay to need to not be around people for some time.

Introverts are not necessarily shy....Rather, introverts are people who find other people tiring.

In an article called "Caring For Your Introvert"

The good news is that more and more articles and studies are being published about being an introvert, being with an introvert and how it is to be an extroverted introvert (when you actually enjoy - and are good at - socializing but you can't do it for long and still needing to recharge).

No matter what, you do you. Remember self-care is the best way to survive this insane, social-based world and there is legitimately never anything wrong with that.
