I sort of tell myself that it's probably that I just hate how people are under capitalism, but sometimes I wonder if I simply dislike being around people in general.

I consider myself a "social introvert" in that I enjoy interacting with people but NEED my alone time to feel sane. Idk if that applies to you, but it's helped me make sense of my needs.

The way I've always thought about it is that the difference between an introvert and an extrovert is that an extrovert gains energy from social interaction and an introvert expends energy in social interactions.
