[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My late husband was an introvert. There were some things he was willing to do, like go to concerts or out dancing, and others he hated, like parties. I gave up expecting him to go to parties with me.[b] My friends all thought he hated them[/b], which wasn't true. If I ever date again I would look for an extrovert.  I find introverts exhausting.

This is what my friends and family think about my wife. I sometimes think she really does hate them. Dealing with an introvert is very exhausting. Being in quarantine really isn’t helping. I think we may go our separate ways when it’s over.[/quote]

I am a shy introvert, and I have had issues with this as well, particularly as a teenager.  I feel embarrassed if I talk to much and often think I am boring the other person.  I do well at parties because most people just want you to be interested in whatever they are interested in and tell a funny story every now and again.  But I really struggle in one on one conversations where I know the person well enough that most small talk conversations aren't necessary.  I jump too quickly to personal questions which makes the relationship awkward when you try to keep it superficial later on.
