You need alone time like you need air. But even introverts need the warmth of human affection, and the stimulation of conversation. Prioritize social events that energize you. Not all social activities are created equal. Some events will light a spark in you, while others will be draining as heck. Let go of the guilt for staying home. It’s not a crime to rest and reflect. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is restore yourself in solitude. This will allow you to be sharp and present when you do emerge from your cave to socialize again. Undercommit, schedule in LESS than what you think you can handle. Reach out to friends BEFORE you’re lonely. Have weekly social activities you look forward to. Make your alone time count by doing rejuvenating activities, like meditation, yoga, a hot bath, reading, or creative expression.
