Thank you everyone for responding.

- Hamster-bamster: yes, i am a very introverted type of person. Thank you for making me notice there are ways to deal with this problem. I already see my bf not so often, since he seems to be like me, but lately he’s wanting to see me more often. I LOVE writing but he thinks talking in person is better. I’ll try explaining him it would be better for me.

Regarding your firrst question (Does your energy get sapped equally by one-on-ones and by being in larger groups?) my asnwer is yes. They are both draining even if in different ways. In groups i can be quiet and let others talk but it often becomes boring and at the same time too hard paying attention to different people talking. In one-on-ones interactions instead, you have to pay attention ALL THE TIME to keep the conversation going and its exhausing!

Regarding your second question (Does it matter if you are inside or outdoors when you are in groups of people or in one-on-ones?) the environment doesnt play a big role in my experience.

- Riotgrrrl: i am already seeing people only for a couple of hours (having a meal together/movies) and avoid situations where i have to be around people much more time, but sometimes its unavoidable and i dread those times. The problem is i dont seem to be able to enjuoy even that little time! It always feels like a duty!
