Why do I feel so tired after spending the day with friends?

I’m not introverted, yet I feel drained.

Introversion isn't a specific any more than extroversion is. That's why there's 16 variants on the Myers-Briggs personality scale, with a range of how introverted an individual is within each.

Over the last 30 years I've bounced between the two, mostly on the E side, but recently I tested into the I.

Also, no matter how extrovert you are, there's always that one special friend...

Eating lots of food

Cuz it consumes lots of energy to give attention to other human beings. I feel the same whenever I need to leave the house.

Socializing can be draining. I went out last 2 nights ago, and I am still recovering.

If you are introverted, you wouldn't be asking that question. 😊

This is common to happen. You are tired from going out, and it tires you out.
