A facet of Extraversion
Gregariousness measures how much company you seek and how much energy being among people gives you: whether crowds recharge your batteries or drain them, and whether you prefer the group or time alone.
You flourish among people: gatherings recharge you and you actively seek company. You rarely feel lonely. The cost: silence and prolonged solitude weigh on you more than noise does to others.
Your battery recharges in solitude or in very small circles; crowds empty you even when you enjoy them for a while. The blind spot: sometimes you decline plans that would have done you good, out of a reflex to withdraw.
This is the heart of the introvert/extravert misunderstanding: it doesn't measure whether you like people, it measures where you draw energy from. Seeking company isn't dependency and seeking solitude isn't misanthropy. The key is respecting your source of recharge without locking yourself inside it.
Where it shows. It shows on a Friday night, in how you feel after an intense week, and in whether, after a party, you head to another or go home exhausted and happy.
