2. People never believe me when I tell them I'm an introvert.

I think this is because I can be very social, have lots of friends, a confident nature and I'm not the least bit shy or timid. But being around a lot of people often exhausts me. I have to have lots of time alone to recharge my batteries and if given the choice, I prefer my solitude to socializing. Even when we have family down for the holidays or birthdays, I have to find time to sneak off to be alone in my office for a while each day or I become very agitated.
