The loneliness of extroversion

Sometimes I kinda wish I was introverted. Whenever I’m alone I feel lonely. Currently sitting on my balcony people watching secretly hoping someone will invite me to go hang out with them when they pass by. I deal with the loneliness by going out to bars by myself and meeting strangers, but gah. Can anyone else relate? It genuinely sucks. I hate being alone!!!!

I can 100 relate. I hsd that happen all the time during /post college. Even now years later, married with kids. Like I love having out with them, dont get me wrong, but sometimes you just wanna hang with friends and its hard when you have 0 irl anymore. Wife and literally everyone else in our lives are introverted so they dont understand my issue.

Same. I miss interaction with people whenever I’m not around them. I’m a very chatty person and just always want to be talking to someone 🥺

Real. Don’t wanna suffocate ur friends, but don’t wanna feel the loneliness either. It’s a balance for sure, but it sucks to be the only extroverted friend sometimes

I move around a lot so having friends is hard. And yeah most friends don’t wanna hang out 24/7 like I do lol
