Despite wanting to laugh off MBTI as a social model, I think I really internalized the natural introvertedness idea. Good to have a bit of a wake up call!

Hm, after returning from studying abroad, I was very much thinking the opposite. I had spent a lot of time travelling with friends (whom I like very much!), and although it was fun, I was constantly wishing for time to be alone.
Though, I do agree that my favorite moments were with other people... Thanks for the post, definitely has things to think about.
Gods work, Aaron. I felt motivated to write this originally because I too started to feel burnt out just by seeing people all the time and wanting some time to turn off. I don't think 0% alone time is the right number, so your case is probably an exception. But I do think that in general, it's normal to have some instinctual resistance to seeing people, just like you might stall in going to the gym. Maybe one of those short-term-long-term happiness tradeoffs you have to make.
