What It's Like To Be An Introvert Who's Friends With Extroverts

Hi, I'm an introvert, and I'm probably exhausted.

What It's Like To Be An Introvert Who's Friends With Extroverts

Being friends with all extroverts is great, but it can get super tiring when you're an introvert.

Being introverted doesn't mean you're necessarily shy or asocial, it just means that sometimes you need to hang out by yourself for a while. Extroverts gain energy from being around others while introverts lose energy after a lot of social interaction.

Your extroverted friends are great but there's more than a few ways that you're different, and here's what that's like:

1. They probably don't understand why you just need to leave and watch Netflix by yourself for a while.

2. That perpetually awkward situation when people are at your house and you don't want to be rude and ask them to leave but you really just want to be by yourself.

3. Spending an entire day with your friends means you need at least a day of alone time immediately afterward.

4. When you're about to hang out with someone and as soon as your plans begin, you realize you kind of just want to binge watch Grey's Anatomy.

5. Your friends could hang out for days but you're ready for a nap after a couple hours.

6. "Wanna hang out?" "Sorry, I can't, I have plans!" *plans include doing absolutely nothing*

7. Weekends at the bar are great, but weekends full of wine nights and a movie are also equally as great (and sometimes way better).

8. Going on vacation with your friends is full of fun, but it's also exhausting, so when vacation ends and you get to hang out by yourself, it feels like actual therapy.

9.We can totally put on the extrovert hat when it's necessary, but don't be angry when we need a nap afterward.

So, the moral of the story is: I love my extrovert friends, but y'all wear me out.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
