Is it true that extroverts feel energized by social interaction and drained by prolonged solitude, unlike introverts?
Yes. One reference work states directly that extroverts are energized by people and introverts are rested and energized by solitude, covering both halves of the claim; several other sources partially support it by describing extroverts' greater engagement in social interaction or introverts' preference for solitude.
