i agree with r.evo.
Being introverted is never an excuse for isolation. Likewise, being extravert isn't a reason to be annoying. (or whatever, the examples arent the point..)

Also, the versus between the two isnt justified, imo. Everyone is a combination of both, and neglecting one of them (for example by using the word introvercy to justify neglecting social contacts in general) will probably end up hurting you.

In your blog, you mention a shyshell, breaking out of it and having a lot of friends/contacts and then returning to some key people, before your college years. I had exactly the same around that same time. Although i of course don't know if it's the same, if anyone would ask me to describe my 2 years before college, i would use almost the exact same words. Now, that was 6 years ago. I've seen many of these developments with other people as well. Although i have no other basis then these experiences, i think this development doesnt necessarily say whether you're intro- or extraverted, but is a 'type of path to take'. You say you feel extraverted, and that's fine, but a suggestive 'bad past, good present' isn't really appropriate, i feel.
Personality tests (in addition to how i feel) resulted in being exactly as introvert as extravert here.

I dont really know how this will be received, i'm not really good at textually saying what i mean. ):

I don't know why people think that introverts are all shy or socially awkward or what have you, different people can be very... different. IE, I'm introverted and I can be pretty awesome in social settings, when I feel like it. Most of the time, I don't. Granted, my behaviour can be borderline autistic at points, but there's nothing really wrong with me. I'd just rather be doing something by myself most of the time.

Forced interaction sucks tho, especially if I don't want to be around a particular person and he's all "Well how about that weather then hur dur". That's what people don't really get, I guess, but in a sense I behave the same way. It's just how people operate. What can get really bad is that even if you talk to them, they still don't get it, but that's a whole other can of worms.

I can't remember where I saw this, but I once read a definition of introversion and extroversion as being whether you draw energy from being alone or from being with others. I like this definition because it distances itself from the social/antisocial dichotomy. it has nothing to do with how cool or likeable you are. an introvert can enjoy partying and going out - it just comes down to whether alone time is a critical aspect of your life.
