This could absolutely be an introvwrted person with no social energy to spend. What do you think happens whrn an introverts social battery runs out? Shutdown and or/social anxiety.
I’m very much an introvert. If I’ve been with people all weekend and I’m drained, I definitely need time where I don’t need to answer to anyone or I get irritable and stressed.
If I’m past that point and hungry, I’d just get my food and brush off anyone trying to talk to me. Presumably these are my roommate’s friends, so I’m not expected to stick around and socialize.
I think the key here is presumption of etiquette. My social battery drains by having to consider social behaviors - speaking clearly, planning out what I want to say, paying attention to what people are saying and doing. If I’m just navigating through that space to grab food and return to my room, that’s no problem. The issue is if people DO expect me to hang around, or ‘chase’ me back to my sanctuary space.

Yeah but imo there is presumption of etiquette when there is a guest in you or your relative/host’s home
