There are many extroverts with social anxiety that call themselves introverts, by the way. Social anxiety and introversion do not equal each other. I’m an introvert who gets out there and has fun with people regularly… if you used social anxiety as a measure, you’d think I was extroverted. I’m not. My wife is the opposite— she has massive and severe social anxiety, but she needs people to be sane. She looks like an introvert on many people’s scales, but she’s not.
