There’s a lot that goes into a social event. You might be flexing your muscles on the dancefloor or using them to sit still at a fancy dinner table. There’s likely a lot of sensory stimulation that you might be taking in to dance to the beat, or trying to block out to concentrate on what’s being said.
Running through your brain could be all the things you want to remember about the event, or your anxieties, or goals for the interaction.
All this activity is understandably taxing on your mind and body. But you’ve probably heard it said that extroverts gain energy from being around other people, while introverts get their energy from being alone.
