@neversosimple@actuallyautistic I would still call myself an introvert.
Who I'm talking to and in which environment just changes how much energy it will cost me.
Maybe you could call a conversation stimulating for me, but that's not the same as "giving energy", because I'm still exhausted afterwards.
It's like sports, fine as long as I have the energy for it.
This can also seem paradoxical to others, because seeking conversations can be stimulation seeking behavior, especially when I'm tired.
