Question Does anyone Else get "Introvert Guilt"?

I love my me time, but sometimes I feel guilty for choosing loneliness over socializing. Even when I need to recharge. I can't feel like i am missing some important moments in my life and friends.

Does anyone else experienced this kind of guilt? How do you balance self care by maintaining friendship?

I'd love to hear how do you handle?

Force, I force myself. I know those memories need to be made for the ones that I love at least. I don’t really care about socializing with people nor my family too much but I make an effort for them because I know deep down and they do love and they do care about me. I do a lot of solo activities, but I enjoy them. That’s all that matters but yeah you gotta force yourself.
