Not quite. Extroversion and introversion are simply personality traits referring to the manner in which one "thinks". Some people think out loud, and therefore vocalize, while others maintain an inner monologue. It is possible to be both an introvert and talkative, however. It's really just a question of semantics.

Not quite. This has to deal with where a person draws their energy from. Extroverts tend to draw their energy from being around people and from their enviroment. So they would be people at partys who are always full of energy and running around talking to people. Introverts are people that draw their energy from within. They can read for hours or play on the internet for hours, but social situations usually leave them tired and exuasted afterward. At a party they tend to hang out in small groups or friends they know well(or not go). Hence extroverts tend to always be "out there" and introverts are more reclusive. You can still be an introvert and be very social, still enjoy being around people. They just tend to need more time to themselves.
I've been in almost the exact same positon myself. My advice is to just get comfortable and confident with yourself. You are not perfect, you are not even close, but nobody else is either. If you can be comfortable with your faults and be yourself, you will start to attract like minded people and will gravitate towards them as well. It's better not to try to be something or force something and end up in a group that doesn't fit you well, or a group that your not comfortable with. If you can be youself things will fall into place. Its about being comfortable with yourself. The social skills are something that you will build over time, there is no quick fix. Chances are you are already better socialy than you think. Good luck
