Even the life of the party can’t keep up such a hectic social calendar all the time. With the amount of energy they possess within the social scene, even they can’t keep this up all the time. Which can often mean that other people get to experience their fun and social side more than you do.
This lifestyle will often mean that you, their partner, will more than likely see a more withdrawn and quieter side of this person behind closed doors. The life of the party can typically have two distinct personalities. With that said, it takes a certain type of individual to be able to ride the highs and lows when it comes to dating the life of the party.
