If you’re an introvert it's likely you’ve used alcohol in social situations to ease anxiety, be more outgoing and cope with large gatherings. So what do you do when you stop drinking?

Most introverts gain energy from solitude and quiet and enjoy interacting one on one or with smaller groups. Parties and lots of social interactions can feel draining for introverts, and it’s common to use “liquid courage” to feel more at ease in uncomfortable social situations.

If you’re an introvert socializing in a world without alcohol it can be challenging to figure out how to attend parties and business functions, spend time with extended family and interact with other parents at sports games without feeling completely drained or socially awkward.

So I asked my friend Meredith Hackwith Edwards, host of the podcast Meredith for Real: The Curious Introvert, to share her tips for surviving and thriving as an introvert in a world that can feel made for extroverts.
