I'm starting to think that the intro/extroverted breakdown is not actually useful but I can't seem to put it to words

@levisan

Does it have something to do with how "extroverted" introverted people can be online?

@Zonz I think that's part of it now that you mention it!

A good description I've heard and used myself in the past is that "extrovert" means socialising=charging, alone=draining and "introvert" means socialising=draining, alone=charging.

If that truly is what is meant by the words, then why does the method of socialising seem to sometimes reverse whether it's charging/draining?

@levisan @Zonz l think it's more useful to ignore "introvert/extrovert" labels and focus on:

- what can you do or tolerate?
- what do you want to do?
- what is your life requiring of you that makes you uncomfortable, if anything?

Then think about what you can do to restore balance if needed.
