We folks who are introverted don't inherently dislike people or eschew socializing. As you've suggested, we just tend to prefer deeper friendships (and spending our energy with those friends). Of course, many of us have learned to fake extroversion ;-) Very pleased to read a note from a fellow friendly-introvert.

People may exhibit primary traits but essentially sometimes we're introverted and others we're extroverted it all depends on the context. Some people who seems really comfortable around new people and may appear extroverted are actually making a huge effort to be that way. Other people who appear quiet are actually really comfortable with new people. I can give you countless examples based on people we know. Labeling yourself is just an excuse. If it's important enough you'll talk to someone but most of the time you just don't think it's compelling. The problem is sometimes the lack of effort means you're going to miss out on some great people but I guess for someone like you the cost isn't that high. A side point I think another mechanism so called introverts can use to "get out there" is to leverage their "extroverted" friends. Introverts can also use extroverts as a filter for meeting people. You may not meet everyone in the room but you probably rely on people who attempt to meet everyone and give recommendations on who you should talk to or they will introduce you to them. Look at your newest friends in the last 6 months it was probably an extrovert who introduced you to them. Some intellectual masturbation because i’m bored:
