Some people charge up at the party. Others need a quiet room afterward. Neither battery is broken.

Energy works differently in different people, and neither direction is a defect. Some are genuinely restored by a room full of company and some are drained by exactly the same room, then refilled by an hour alone. Trouble comes from treating one of those as the correct setting and the other as something to fix.

Learn which way yours runs and plan around it instead of apologising for it. If crowds cost you, build the quiet hour in afterward rather than pushing through. If they feed you, notice that too, and stop reading your friend’s early exit as rejection.
