"Anytime I've begged off, it was because of tiredness/ illness/ feeling down, not because of introversion."
Well, for me this is the ultimate introvert test - the answer to the question "Do you want friends to visit you in hospital when you are ill?"
The extrovert would supposedly answer: "I NEED friends to visit me, I have to get energy form them to get well faster!"
The introvert would cringe: "How dare they visit me in hospital, when I am already ill and need to use all my energy to get well faster! I simply CANNOT spare any energy for being social when I need it all to heal my body!"
