So, so introverted, though most people don't believe me when I say it as I'm still a pretty expressive and open person in a lot of ways. I can feel very awkward and pressured to think of things to say when with one person or a really small group especially, and I do still feel very much that being around people and indulging interaction with them in itself tires me and I need to recharge by being alone. Some days I do find it to be just too much effort and too much of a push out of my comfort zone to even talk at much length to people unless I absolutely have to, and even talking to my own best friends can feel like too much to do for a little bit if I've been busy or tired. I couldn't go days without talking to anyone in any way and be okay with that, but my fundamental nature is that other people = effort and I can't always afford too much of that mental energy expenditure, so to speak.
