- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

It sounds like you're shy, not introverted.
Introverts need social interaction too, just less of it.
That's how it starts out, but decades later you're not shy anymore, you're just lazy in starting a conversation and rely on others who have much less inertia.
I also love my extrovees
Yes, but it sounds like you're extroverted but shy.
People far too often confuse introversion with social anxiety. It's becoming my biggest pet peeve.
Where does it imply that he's an extrovert?
I gotta admit I'm pretty confused with these labels. I thought intro/extro were labels applied to behaviours of people, not some intrinsic want.
E.g. if you have social anxiety or were shy, driving you to stay indoors and not interact no matter how much you wanted to, that's introverted.
I spent most of my life like that, at peace with my own hobbies, and happy to be left alone, but later in life overcame my social issues and developed a slow rapport with people, that then turned into enjoying others company.
No, it's an intrinsic want. Extroverts get energized by being around other people, and feel drained when spending time alone. Introverts get drained by being around other people, and need some time alone to recharge. You can be a shy extrovert, someone who wants to be around other people but is shy about it. Or, you can be a class-clown introvert, someone who is the life of the party, but needs to get away and get some energy back after that kind of performance.
Hmm. I guess I iterate between the two a lot then. I'd also be surprised if most people didn't
