Introverts are not antisocial, they are just on a different energy economy than extroverts, and the math eventually becomes clear. Social situations cost something, and alone time replenishes it, and they have done the arithmetic and made their choices accordingly. They are often very good at parties, actually. They listen well, they ask good questions, they can hold a conversation that actually goes somewhere. They just also cannot do it indefinitely without needing a long recovery period, ideally involving silence and something absorbing. They have a preferred solo activity. They have a corner of the house that is theirs. They have probably said they're going home and meant it in the most optimistic possible way. The gift for them is something for the rich interior life they actually live.
