That's a good point. I used to say I was an introvert but I think I fall more towards the middle than I give myself credit for. I like to be alone to an extent, and I am trying to get more comfortable with it as others have suggested, but I also enjoy being with people and am trying to make new friends and communities in this new city.

It's a misconception that Introverts don't like people. Introverts can be very sociable. Introvert vs. Extrovert is about where you get your energy and where you spend it. Introverts recharge by having time alone. Extroverts recharge by spending time with others.

If having time alone is draining, you're an extrovert. If you like people/crowds but need to take a break after an hour or two, you're likely an introvert.
