OP again. Me too! I always described this as me being introverted and again, just “me” but it’s been a life long struggle. College was a disaster because you always have to be “on” with a roommate, etc. I enjoy social activities but they are exhausting for exactly the reasons you describe. [/quote]

Yes! I call myself an introvert but I don't think that actually captures it - I would love to have more friends and more social interactions. I actually prefer hosting, even though there is a lot more planning involved (but I know my way around a list lol), because I have an easy out whenever I need it - I can go get ice, or get the kids something, or refill drinks, etc.

Ooh boy - and the post about not meeting potential! I am in a deadend, lowpaying job and just doing mediocre at that. Sometimes I want to yell out, hey, I got a 170 on my LSAT!   I am trying to really encourage my kids to find things that are meaningful to them, rather than have their identities wrapped up in doing well in school, since that won't necessarily translate to a career.
