Struggling with Socializing as an Introvert

Until I went on anti-anxiety meds, I always thought of myself as an introvert, but now, I really enjoy socializing when it's on my terms. I see a lot of value in both traits. if you ever feel lonely or isolated but don't want intense socializing, i recommend going somewhere in public where other people likely won't talk to you. Sometimes it's really nice to listen to people talk without having to offer anything to the conversation or spend a lot of energy reacting to what they're saying.
