It's not that anything drains me, I just can't get myself to pretend to care about strangers.

But you care about friends? If yes, then don't forget that there has been a time when they were strangers too.

I don't imply you have to care about strangers, but there are tangible benefits to maintaining a balanced approach (and that, for introverts like us can mean doing more than we would if we just follow our guts).

After all even if you don't care about strangers, being on good terms with them, or even making the occasional friend will have a positive impact on literally everything else that you actually care for, be it your own well being, your projects, etc.

That sounds deeper than just being an introvert.
