Yes, yes, yes, and yes! Very well put!

This doesn’t mean I don’t like being around other people, but it can be exhausting.

Thank you. People have a hard time believing I'm an introvert, but I quite literally am. It's not that I'm antisocial — I often do derive some enjoyment from interacting with people — but I ultimately only recharge by being alone. Given the choice between a big party with a bunch of people or a quiet night with a book, I'm probably choosing the book.

I would choose the book as well - with a cup of tea. You are not alone. ;)
Glad you liked the article. :)

Yes please to the tea! What kind? (Chamomile or peppermint here, normally.)

Chamomile, peppermint, ginger - almost any kind of herbal tea is great. ;)
And sometimes hot chocolate. :D
