  Not everyone feels drained by talking to people. I’d say most people don’t. Some people, a lot of people actually, get energized talking with people.

    And those people wouldn’t be wearing this pin.

    People that feel drained from socializing feel that way with everybody.

      I get energized from conversation and would totally wear this pin

      I think it would be funny to slide it up throughout a social event

    I think you described quite accurately the difference between introverts and extroverts.

    Extroverts gain energy with social interaction whereas it costs energy for introverts to be in these social interactions.

        Two extroverts talking would be both charging without anyone being drained. Masturbatory vampirism.

    I believe scientific studies say it’s somewhere around half of each.

    The reason you don’t see that, is because it’s considered socially unacceptable to get socially drained, so we learn to hide it, usually from very young.

      Yeah I was very ready to disagree with it being most people as that is far from my experience. I also come from one of those northern european countries that others describe as cold and closed of because we have a much more introvert aligned culture. And the fact that I’m someone who gets drained probably also biases my sample to more like minded people.

    This pin is not made for them. What is your point?

      The point is that you don’t need to think you’re special, or have some unique arrogance to think that you don’t drain people’s batteries. Younger extroverts have no awareness that there are people who get drained through human interactions.
