Why is it whenever I’m with a highly extroverted person or group they make me feel bad because I’m not matching their energy?

I’m introverted by nature and I’m trying to be nice to these people but they never seem to like me

Because you can see that they are very outward and social, and they likely are not very cognizant of your introversion, or they purposely don't care and don't respect it, and want you to look upon all their talking and laughter.

Introversion is still looked down on in our world as something bad. Sometimes it is bad and can be rooted in some kind of serious personal issues, but other times it's simply a person's nature like you said. I am an ambivert so I can move between both worlds. Not everyone can or does though.

They want you to be more open, honest and join in with them. It can be very hard to, but be yourself through and through

I would suggest you just allow yourself to be yourself. It sounds like you are trying too hard to "fit in". People sense when someone is not being authentic. You be you and they will either like the real you or not. At least you'll know where you stand and can decide if you actually want to spend your time with them or would rather be doing something else. It's okay to chose something else.

You control how you feel not others

Some don't understand introverted people
