That's fine, as long as it's not all day every day like some extraverts are. Life would be boring if nobody ever got excited.

When one is around my mum she takes up all the social space, there is no room to just be. Everybody has to be "on", everything seems unreal and kind of tense, as if we were all performing instead of just being together.

A friend of hers is even more so, she wants everyone to stay forever, when you say you have to go she says "No you don't, now sit down, I'll make you something to eat, would you like some of this bread, this salad" etc. It's very sweet but also totally exhausting. I couldn't live with somebody like that.
