Contrary to popular belief being an introvert does not simply mean you are a shy person, lacking in social skills and avoid social interaction at all costs.
I identify as an introvert and although I may not be a social butterfly I do not hide in the corner at social events (maybe I would avoid more awkward situations if I did).
So really to me being an introvert means that there is only so much of people I can take in a day. A full day of social interaction is just plain tiring. I get home after a full day of work or uni and and its dealing with people that is probably the days most draining task. Sometimes you just need moments alone, definitely more so than your average extrovert counterpart!
Don’t label your introvert friends as shy and socially incompetent (okay they may be) but they may surprise you!
