Introverts gains energy by being by them selves. Extroverts needs to be with other persons to gain energy,
That said, most people are not neccessarily completely one or the other.
I understand where the misconception comes from though. Seems likely that being introvert often leads to not be very social since you’re “punished” for it by your own mind.

I struggle with being social because I’m usually so worn out by work, but my friends are honestly the best - they know I have a couple of hours in me, and they don’t mind at all if I kind of wander off to read or lay down for 20 minutes to recharge. Sometimes they want to do the same thing, sometimes they keep doing whatever we’re doing until I get back.
