Thanks for this post.. there IS an inherent difference between being shy and introverted, but I couldn't clearly define why some people were okay with not enjoying others' company as much and why some people rabidly despised it. Under your definition, the first was an introvert and the latter was just shy. That explains why I was always ESTJ on Myers'-Brigg's, even though I was afraid of people. I felt like I was Introverted, but personality tests always told me Extroverted.. I was SHY, not introverted.
