They use it in an unempirical way that corresponds to things that are literally nonreal.

Are you arguing that those people aren't feeling a sensation of energy?

If you think energy when used to talk about introverts paying energy during social interaction is meaningful and describes more than a subjective impression, what metric would you use to measure that energy?

If you consider them to be meaningful in this context I don't think you have grounds to object with a large portion of the way the word energy is used by New Age people in practice.
