Do you require a day to yourself to 'recharge'?

[Still-alive]

I realize this is common for INFJ's. we need that alone time to recharge our social batteries. i can be social easily but too much can be a drain on my energy. same thing in high sensory environments such as a party or a concert or something. That day i need to recharges is almost vital for me to stay sane and not feel too stressed throughout the week. Those are mondays for me. I played a game, chilled on this site, read a little bit from a book, went walking. lots of nice stuff. now today im recharged! :D

Wbu guys?

Yes i need that too

No i don't need that

*recharging currently*

I only wanna be alone when I'm really sick. Otherwise, I thrive in social gatherings.

I'm an extrovert. I can talk to people all day. My social battery is running constantly 😅

[Still-alive]

You can go on your 8 hour cyclings on my recharge day lol :P

[queenofcardio]

That doesn't count because I stop and talk to other cyclists 😅

[Still-alive]

ok but thats other people, not me. :P

[queenofcardio]

Haha true lol

[Still-alive]

You can still talk to me on those days but ill mostly be wanting the peace and quiet :P

[queenofcardio]

Noted lol

[VioletHaze]

I require more than a day. Don't even go to parties 😅 And can stay weeks by myself, happily living life in my own little bubble.

[Still-alive]

i think i can do a whole week... eventually i think ill wanna hang with someone though lol

[VioletHaze]

I once stayed in for 2 weeks without even realizing it. Went out for groceries and suddenly Christmas decorations were everywhere 😅 Unless I have a reason to go out, I don't really want to leave my own place.

[bobalife]

Nah I used to go out all the time and do something everyday type of lifestyle. Maybe it’s age, the workaholic lifestyle, or graduate school that finally grounded me… but now I do need a little recharge time lol. But I’m pretty extroverted and love being around people more than staying home lol.

[Still-alive]

Thats good. I almost envy people like that at times but i gotta have my alone time lol. Im well charged now though!

[Still-alive]

Oh wait i read you wrong you do need recharge time lol. Yeah i suppose the older we get the more we need it. :)

[Grgroup]

Yes, I do occasionally need a day by myself. I find that taking a short break helps me reset because life can get hectic and mentally taxing. I can unwind, think, and replenish my energy when I spend quiet time by myself. These brief pauses can help you feel less stressed and more productive when you return.

[petitedollbabee]

Yes, but often don’t get the luxury of having a day to myself.

[Still-alive]

aww sorry for that. hope its not too bad for you

[thegreenyogi]

I wish I could gift myself that but unfo I work every single day and I don't get days off.

[Still-alive]

awww well i hope you aren't too stressed over there

[thegreenyogi]

Thank you!! It's not as bad as it was.

[Ms_Facesitter]

I need weeks. I'm very introverted, that battery runs low quite easily.

[Still-alive]

oh wow. so social situations really take a lot of energy for you?

[Ms_Facesitter]

They do! But if I really think about it, it's more about the people. The more people, the harder it is for me. One person close to me and I can spend hours with them on the daily, no problem.

[Still-alive]

very interesting. well we all come in different shades and types

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I'm eager to meet someone who wouldn't need some alone time regularly.

Side note: Cokeheads do NOT count as a valid example.

[7Phoenix7]

Sometimes I need a week 😭

[WhitneySnow]

Sometimes. I’m an INFP.

[Jeff51]

Yes. Saturday and Sunday
