4 year old DS very emotional after socialising

My DS goes to nursery twice a week and has at least one or two playdates outside of nursery a week and has also plays with his 2 year old sibling. I have noticed after he has a good time playing with other kids or goes to a party he gets very emotional once we leave.
I feel worried for his future as he gets very attached if another child shows him attention and seems very sensitive to any rejection of a child wants a break from playing. He was playing all day recently then last night at bedtime said he has no friends. I just feel like these might be early signs of maybe social anxiety or self esteem issues. He is very chatty and not particularly shy but seems ahead of his time in terms of emotional intelligence and I want to guide him in a positive way to enjoy the moments.
Anyone else experienced this with their little one? Did it improve? What did you do to help them?

This will improve as he matures and learns to handle his tiredness (socializing is tiring) and behavior (you have to act differently when you are with others).
4 is young still.
