    Actually getting to be alone is a luxury.

    It is so peaceful.

    Is it weird that I don’t like being alone during the day if I’m not busy or working on something, but at night it’s a completely different story, especially after 12 AM?

    I consider myself an introvert for sure, most people are an emotional & mental drain to me, and too much interaction and metaphorical mask-wearing (being agreeable and hiding my true feelings, beliefs & morals (unless it involves me swallowing undue shit from someone or partaking in something I feel is morally wrong), to avoid pointless conflict and being “that guy”), tires me out after a few days; the only way I can recharge is by being alone, at night.

    There’s something about being awake at night when the majority around you are asleep, everything is still, it’s like the system is temporarily shut down. There are zero expectations of you other than to relax and just be. Everyone you know is sleeping; there’s literally nothing to worry about concerning the people in your life, whether you’re worried about them or they stress you out.

    Recharging at night is the best.

    Exactly. It's like being outside of expectations or interruptions. The world is on hold.

    Working on projects at night can be the best.

    Sorry i can't follow through here. Maybe this is easy for you because you can behave in this way because you possibly are an introvert.

    But i also well can at least understand OP's point here, even when myself i can't feel or estimate it by itself.

    On every test testing the extrovert/introvert i hit the 50 % with an error margin of max 2 % as long as the number of questions is above twenty and i am not intoxicated or deprived from substances.

    Introverts handle energy in another way than extroverts. Especially in relationships. I only can explain this from a thinking POV because the thinking/feeling attribute i hit thinking with at least 75% every time.

    Though through over eight years of group therapy sessions and ambulant as well as stationary treatment i at this point in time believe have at least somewhat understood how the step from thought to emotion "can" work in most human beings.

    Not for me (of course :-D) but for most, you know ?
