Social rest

Being alone isn't just the opposite of being with people; it's a distinct metabolic state your nervous system needs to recover from the effort of monitoring, performing, and relating. Without solo time, you run on fumes pretending they're fuel, which explains why introverts feel exhausted after parties and extroverts feel panicked in silence.
