Yep I can definitely relate to that. I need my hamster ball time after interaction.

Partially. For me it's kind of strange. Most people cost me a lot of energy but then there're some people that actually GIVE energy to me by interaction. Maybe it's a ''click''-thing, but still strange. Mostly the rule in my case is that I get tired from (too much) interaction and then there's sometimes a person who suddenly defies that. Odd.

I stay in my hamster ball hissing at most people.

Introversion/extroversion seems to be a spectrum of sorts. Some people are deeply introverted or extremely extroverted; others are a bit of both. Me, I find I have more social stamina when I am able to just be myself without having to force myself to follow social conventions (small talk, eye contact, etc...).
