Extraverts get energized by external excitement and get bored or listless in the absence of it.

Introverts get energized by internal excitement, and get worn out when it gets blocked out for prolonged periods via attention-sapping external stimulation.

So, extroverts get energized by interacting with a bunch of people, i.e., having a meeting, while introverts get worn out by "attention-sapping external stimulation". Energized good, worn out bad.
