First time I’ve been feeling lonely this year, ik this is in stark contrast with the time of the year but I wasn’t able to perform in my school annual function (I really wanted to) and for some reason I have been feeling lonely since, what do you do when you feel like this?

Introverts feel lonely? I think they enjoyed being alone.

    I think a generally good way to think about it is whether someone is energized or drained by spending time with people. I am a social introvert: I like people, but it takes energy to be with people. When I am drained, I need to be alone. My brother is an extreme extrovert: he actually gains energy from being with people (which seems insane to me).

    As an introvert I certainly can get lonely. Just might look different/happen in different circumstances to my extroverted brother.
