being an introvert is not wanting to be around people and crowds for extended periods of time, and not needing large groups of friends, but still craving companionship and social interaction with a few close friends.
except sometimes your few close friends are not available and you realize you don’t have as many friends to turn to when you feel lonely
but then you also realize you haven’t needed to make any new friends for a while, so you’ve forgotten how to
and then you end up alone a lot
