So there are some relationships where you gain emotional energy from the time you spent with the person? This is different from basic extroversion 'recharging'?
I am very glad I asked this question because I did not realize that was even an option. Thank you very much!
Yes, that is normal in healthy relationships. You should gain emotional energy and emotional stability from them. My girlfriend and I are both introverts, but we can spend hours together with no problem, while if we spend the same amount of time with other people we are very drained. We still do need alone time, but it's not the same as spending the time with other people, even close friends.
