Other people's extroversion gives me the ick. Their insufferable *need* to constantly socialize and be around other sticky people makes me uncomfortable.
I feel deeply uncomfortable and repelled by people who constantly crave external validation, partying, and non-stop socialization, their chaotic lifestyle as a desperate mask for underlying personal issues. When drinking, they are unreliable "flight risks" who rely heavily on alcohol to function but ultimately cannot handle it.
When sober, they prove equally difficult to be around, often focusing on trivial, unproductive topics and deliberately pushing my buttons to provoke an emotional reaction while being highly volatile themselves. I consider myself an "immovable introvert", I *do* protect my peace and need for solitude, their refusal to respect my boundaries inevitably leads to conflict but what disgusts me and gives me the ick is:
It grosses me out that when they can't get their supply energy vampire out of me they just run around like rats in the street at all hours, looking for the next victims to drain of energy. They don't filter for high quality connections either they just want someone, anyone to drain.
I've done my fair share of socializing, hanging with what I consider high quality folks. But I never felt like I was going to explode because I didn't hang out with them and turn rabid looking for people to soothe my need for... idk say talk to someone regarding a game or life event.
