Being an introvert, does your social battery deplete fast when multiple people text or call you at once?

[Simslover92]

Like I've had several people text me today and it's becoming a lot. I'm just used to one or two people texting or calling me.

How do you extroverts do it?

For me it would be a total drain i donr really text anyone not unless I want to really talk to that person and I feel comfortable with them and as phone call. I like to say i have a phone for one reason and that is for me to call people when I need to get ahold of them if I give my phone # to someone then I want then to call when they want i love that but yes im like you i get overwhelmed. If\nThere's five ten people trying to get a hold of me needing me to do something .. As for draining my battery.
I think it was drained like last year and I'm still going trying to get all that energy back.
But i'm getting there l o l

I get wore out very easily in any social situations.

[Simslover92]

Me too.

yes...
I usually talk to one person, like only one... sometimes 2... and so I ghost the rest and I be like "why didn't I reply to this one already" because, I'm getting a lot of text, and then I reply to them all, on my peak of social battery, but then they reply back fast and all at the same time...
so after 2 or 3 juggling between texts, I feel like it's a lot and I stop replying then I remember "yeah that's why I didn't reply to them last time..."
hopefully, alll my friends know I don't reply to texts so they don't get mad

I'm an introvert but no, my battery doesn't get depleted. I don't get drained of energy with social contact. I get annoyed and progressively more pissed off. My patience and my willingness to smile and be polite in the face of stupidity reaches zero quickly.

My social battery is usually flashing red before any social interaction, so yeah; it depletes pretty quickly.

The more people/interactions I have, the faster it depletes, so multiple people texting me, or especially calling me, will drain it rapidly.

I have no idea what being introverted is like. I assume extroverts are energized by social situations, while introverts expend energy during them. This applies not only to in-person interactions but also to digital ones.

I guess working as a secretary for 30 years and in my younger days operating l switchboards that received 500 phone calls each day, a few social phone calls or text messages doesn't seem like much to me.

@Simslover92 I was going to text you but I don't want you to get overloaded.😊😊😊

[Simslover92]

Haha 😂

[DryGermanGuy]

No, that’s perfectly alright. Actually maneuvering among a loud and unruly mass of people drains my battery. 😵

[Coden7]

I really only like communicating by phone to plan something in person. Small talk over the phone by either voice or texting feels the same as them lingering too long in my personal space.

[queenofcardio]

I literally crave attention sometimes. It's so natural for me to be social.

[Shiprex]

Different people drain my social battery at different rates.

[Xawyx-2]

Yes, it happens from time to time, I need time to recharge.

[DrPepper12]

Nah. I'm good
