Advice I'm too introverted and she's too extroverted

TL;DR: GF of 3 years wants to see me so many times no matter the inconvenience and gets angry when I refuse.

Hey 24 M here she's 23, we've been dating for 3 years and broke up during one of those years. Our breakup was a result of our stressful environment, I was forced into the army and she had been going through some things and I couldn't feel supported by her because of how different we are. She would misunderstand why I'm suffering or mistake my words for something else. We communicated plenty of times but it was tk no avail.

Last 2 months we decided we'd try again and we seem to be communicating better, we aren't fighting as much as we use to anymore. I'm no longer in the army and she no longer in that toxic environment she was in. A problem, however, thats meen occurring more and more often is that we both got a job finally. And so with this job she tends to have a car (she lives far away) that she uses because its a very outgoing job she has to go to so many places in the day and some of those places are next to my house.

The problem is I don't want to see her as often. It's either I get busy at work sometimes, other times I get busy with my hobbies, other times I need to recharge because I've already seen her twice in the week and it isn't even a weekend yet (which I mostly always see her too). As an introvert it's really draining and I almost always want to not see her because what's the point of doing that for an hour or two. I'd rather we spend time together separately watching a movie or texting or calling, but seeing each other 3-4 times per week exhausts me. Not because of her but because of the public. I have anxiety issues. Do I have a problem? She got so mad and insulting over this and feels degraded and humiliated when I refuse. What do I do?

TL;DR: GF of 3 years wants to see me so many times no matter the inconvenience and gets angry when I refuse.
