As I've gotten older, I've realized being an extroverted person can be tough. We get our energy from being around other people, but sometimes we just don't want to go out. We believe that everyone needs space every once and a while, but at the same time, we struggle to be alone for long periods of time. We just can't do it.
Genuinely enjoying to get know other people and their story is always interesting to us extroverts. However, we feel we are expected to say yes to every invitation we are invited too because people know how outgoing we are capable of being. It's hard to back down to an invite, even though we love to be out and around people. We don't enjoy being alone with our thoughts and we especially don't like to be bored.
Always feeling "on call" and expected to be full of energy when we are out and about puts an excessive amount of pressure on us: we can't be too tired to not go to a party or to hang out with friends. We always feel the need to be on the go. We try to do everything that is fun and entertaining to us. Being extroverted can also be rough when we have too much energy at the wrong time. For an example, not being able to focus on our studies sucks.
Feeling easily excited about upcoming events is one of our strong suits, but we also have moments where we the feel the need to be calm. Extroverts feel annoying some of the time, but we can't help it. There are many strengths of being extroverted, but we have struggles just like introverts.
