To want to be around people a lot

Hi,
I’m a quiet person and don’t have many friends but I love being around people and it’s getting worse to the point that it fills my thoughts a lot of the time and makes me depressed because I don’t have enough opportunities for it. I went out with some friends on Friday night, spent time with parents/ my family on Saturday and both times I didn’t want it to end. I’ve had a quiet Sunday and really hated it. I don’t really understand because I think if you asked anyone they would refer to me an introvert because im not much off a talker. Its not a nice feeling because you feel deprived off something you really want (a bit like FOMO i guess?) and it makes you feel down. Is anyone else like this?

Introverts get their energy from being alone, extroverts from being with people.
Sounds like you are a quiet extrovert, so need to work out how to be with people every day.

You could volunteer, get a job in an pub, join a meet up group, join a sports team
