Being alone and being lonely are two very different things. Any introverted person can tell you that.

As an introvert, it is difficult when you surround yourself with extroverts who just don’t get it. So, here are the top 5 things that all introverts hate more than anything else.

1. Being in large groups of people when they don't have the energy to be around people:
