> It's relatively accurate. It's also relatively unflattering, because it makes me sound a lot like an unfeeling robot.
It doesn't make you sound like a robot, it makes you sound like someone who is a very restful person for your fellow introverts to be around. Some people are wired to be social, some aren't, and both are perfectly okay to be. Those of us who are friends with you love for what you are and are happy to work with you to make things easier where possible.
Very much backing up what Claire has said, these are valid and reasonable feelings to have in the circumstances. I would guess that the reason it's all starting to surface now is because you're going through an emotional patch for other reasons and as a consequence have been subconsciously reviewing your relationships and the emotional/energy drain they have on you.
No sage advice here, just a reminder that you've done shoulder duty for me enough times that I can always be called on to return the favour - I have some thoughts that might help, but that's a more private discussion than LJ and purely if you want to give it a go.
