I am heavily an introvert and i worry that when i have a kid they may be extroverted. I wouldn’t want to have my kid have less opportunities because i tire from social activities very easily. I guess im asking if there are any noticeable issues you’ve faced and any ways you may navigate them. And because im not a parent yet is there anything i could really work on now to help me later? Im sorry if this isnt the right question for this sub but i am surrounded by extroverts so they dont really understand where i am coming from. Thankyou in advance.

Big introvert here with a toddler. Hard to tell if she’s extroverted but she is the kind of kid you need to take out every single day for an activity (even if it’s just grocery shopping). So it’s been hard for me tbh but I love her so much that I make it work. I recharge by taking turns with my husband and sitting in silence when I can.
My daughter is 4 and I’ve found it does get easier the older they get as you don’t have to sit and watch them. At a birthday party for example, I will sit out the way and let everyone crack on and just watch quietly.
