I need space – even as an extrovert  

That’s how people differentiate extrovert and introvert, how they recharge. I am not sure if I agree with that generalization. As an extrovert, I love people and being around people. And I am certainly excited to be with people. However, I noticed that if I take time to recharge, I am a better person. Dealing with the everyday life is a bit much, getting the to-dos done, taking care of the kids, doing my job. I had to be around so much energy throughout the day and it is a lot. When I notice that I am not feeling great, I try to take a few minutes to myself to just pause, reflect or meditate. It makes a huge difference in how I feel and I am a much better person after that. I do need space- even as an extrovert.
