What are the drawbacks of people with excessively social and outgoing personalities?

I'm considered charismatic and jovial.

1.) Lots to handle. If you're not in the mood for lots of jokes, laughter, anecdotes, and trying to rope you into sharing, then you will get burnt out quickly.

2.) We will overshadow you at work or in school if you can't match energy (not work ethic or output, just personal energy). This means that yes, I have a better chance at securing a leadership position, or have people naturally look to me to fill a comparable role.

3.) We can come across as remarkably disingenuous if you're a skeptic or analytical person. "Fake", basically. (I personally enjoy trying to elevate others)

4.) If you're romantically involved with this person, and you are the type to get jealous if they are hanging out, one-on-one, with someone you consider a potential mate...well, get ready to never hop off that train. We really do just enjoy dealing with people, and it's not always sexual/romantic.

4-B.) If you've ever felt rejected by someone who you thought was for sure into you, they are probably just really into people in general. We're nice to everyone! Sorry!

5.) For US, it sucks because we can never turn off without being shunned, and it's exhausting when you can't keep up with the expectations you've set for yourself.
