I must be the opposite. After and during socializing I often feel manic but I terribly shy initially and spend all my time alone.

Drat.

Same here. I was invited to a party late last year and it was the first time really getting out in a long time. It was enjoyable, but I didn't do much socializing till the end. Haven't had an opportunity to get out since tho

Some good news though! Shyness, social anxiety, etc, can be overcome with effort, if desired. I've definitely witnessed a number of people "coming out of their shell" so to speak over the years.
