Yep, although most peoples' idea of what an introvert is is way offline. Yes, I am. Please note that an introvert is not the same as a shy person. In my case, it simply means that I need time alone every day to think and reflect without interruption. It used to make my ex crazy that I could spend hours alone without being lonely. Here's the introduction to a classic article explaining what introverts are and are not: "Do you know someone who needs hours alone every day? Who loves quiet conversations about feelings or ideas, and can give a dynamite presentation to a big audience, but seems awkward in groups and maladroit at small talk? Who has to be dragged to parties and then needs the rest of the day to recuperate? Who growls or scowls or grunts or winces when accosted with pleasantries by people who are just trying to be nice? If so, do you tell this person he is "too serious," or ask if he is okay? Regard him as aloof, arrogant, rude? Redouble your efforts to draw him out? If you answered yes to these questions, chances are that you have an introvert on your hands—and that you aren't caring for him properly. Science has learned a good deal in recent years about the habits and requirements of introverts. It has even learned, by means of brain scans, that introverts process information differently from other people (I am not making this up). If you are behind the curve on this important matter, be reassured that you are not alone. Introverts may be common, but they are also among the most misunderstood and aggrieved groups in America, possibly the world."

That cartoon sums up alot of what i feel quite accurately. Dealing with other people is exhausting to me because most (not all) people look to others to get entertained or to alleviate boredom... |

I find crowds of people draining. Not scared of it or anxious about it all, but if I had my druthers, I'd spend as much time by myself as possible. Oh wait, I already do.
Seriously, after spending so much time around other people, I need to go off by myself for a while to recharge. Hiking, camping, hunting or just sitting at home alone is therapy. |

I am to the extreme.
I deal with a lot of people for work and always have. Hundreds of calls, texts, emails. 25 employees and lots of customers. One time i told my boss that when im in my late 30s i want to quit, live off of my investments, build my dream home in the country, and never talk to humans again. Other than my immediate family anyway. Dealing with folks is mentally exhausting for me. He kind of looked at me funny, then thought a second and said "ya know, that sounds about right for you".
Another time we were talking about sales presentations during a training class. One of the manufacturer reps said "selling a product is no different than asking a pretty girl to dance. You cant sell anything if you dont ask." I thought to myself "not just asking a girl to dance but the dancing itself sounds excruciating and painfully awkward, why in the fuck would i do either?"  I mentioned that to one of the reps later and he said he saw the look or horror and bewilderment on my face when they used that example.
Today i went to my wifes work (a store) and avoided her when i heard her voice in another aisle because i didnt want to engage in a social situation. |

The whole thing that started this was the fact that I took an aptitude/personality profile test for a consulting position. Because of my personality profile, the company wanted to hire me for software development versus implementation. The only downside is they wanted me to move to their headquarters in Wisconsin versus being the traveling implementation specialist that I originally applied for. I turned them down because I don't do cold. |

I scored a 20_at the introvert end of the introvert/extrovert scale of the Meyers-Briggs. There's a good reason for it.
The scale doesn't go to 30. What some call loneliness I call solitude. I wrap myself in it and I'm comfortable. I don't get lonely, and I'm OK with that. |

Yes. Very much so on the introvert/extrovert scale. When at my previous employer, we took the Myers Briggs type personality testing, I hit something like 90% introverted.
This doesn't mean I'm shy or antisocial. I'm definitely not PRO-social. I don't particularly care for crowds, although I don't really get anxious. I can small talk with strangers and such... but all the socializing is 'draining' to me. Being at home and having my 'me time' is what recharges me. I like ample time to just do what I want to do. ETA: I'm an ISTJ. |

Most people can't conceive of people that think differently than they do. Being introverted is not "inhibited and shy". It's also not a choice, and whether or not it's a benefit or a detractor is entirely dependent on the person and the situation. It's OK, though, you don't have to believe what those of us who actually ARE introverted say, you've got it all figured out, so plow on full steam ahead. We'll just sit back and enjoy the show.

I could work a crowd of 100 people with little effort, but I don't want to, it's not my natural state now. When I was younger, I loved hanging out with friends and going places. Now if I go to a social event with my wife I'll smile and make the best of it, when all I want to do is go home. I'm introverted and I like it.
