INTJ also here man, and I can relate to what you posted. About feeling drained with social interactions, it might be because of all the analyzing and thoughts about what others think of you. Do you have anxiety at all? Even if you don't, having thoughts about what others think of you can lead to a lot of stress.
That being said, on your journey to becoming an alpha male you will learn a lot more about yourself. I prefer to think of introversion as deriving happiness and contentment from being alone. I don't really think that it's social interactions that drain introverts, rather their habit of constantly analyzing themselves and putting their focus inwards instead of outwards. Once you get rid of those habits being an introvert definitely has it's perks, especially when you don't need others and can be content on your own. But it's good to have a mix of introversion and extroversion, I prefer to avoid black and white thinking. I find it easier to just avoid labels all together and just do what you want to do.
Anyway, enjoy your journey!
