I think this is true in some cases. Being intorverted and having social anxiety can go together. I know for myself that I find some social situations to be more work than fun. I've always had a tendency to have a few very close friends, and I enjoy spending the most time with them or on my...
My sitution is exactly the same. She thrives on social activities and being around others. Last night we went out to dinner with a number of other couples and then onto a comedy club. She was having a great time so I hung in there, but when we got home she seemed energized by the experience...
