Do so-called introverts just lack confidence with themself?

I used to avoid public spaces, but ever since I began to lift, BJJ and improve my cardio, I love public spaces. Once I gained confidence, I was fine.

Say I see someone I barely know in a convivence store, Rouses or the gym. I will run up to them and talk their heads off. I would avoid at all costs before gaining confidence from lifting, BJJ and having excellent cardio.

a shy, reticent person.

confidence
the feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust.
"we had every confidence in the staff"

the state of feeling certain about the truth of something.
"it is not possible to say with confidence how much of the increase in sea levels is due to melting glaciers"
a feeling of self-assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities.
"she's brimming with confidence"

Some do. Some just don't care for the general public and the pointless small talk and pleasantries.

You get them one on one or in a small group where they are comfortable and they can be a completely different person.

Why don’t you get married and have kids?

The difference between an extrovert and an introvert is extroverts are energized through socialization and collaboration, whereas introverts receive energy from alone time or in social settings with much smaller groups.

While introverts are a minority group in society, they form the majority of gifted people. Moreover, it appears that introversion increases with intelligence so that more than 75 percent of people with an IQ above 160 are introverted (Sword, 2002).

Some of us introverts just don't like dealing with the stupidity of some people.

I would suggest your meds prob are the factor since they make you not give a shite.

You probably need to cut back a little on the Pre Workout.

I have confidence. I mostly just don't like talking to people, especially people I don't know. I turn on extroversion when needed, but it drains my energy pretty quickly.

I used to feel the same way, but I get joy in interacting with society and other humans now.

Before I wanted nothing to do with a human, I was the best option to spend my time with, but nothing is real unless shared with others.

I have plenty of confidence. You lack confidence because you feel the need to talk to everyone in the room. I chill on the side and let the room come to me.

Yeah that’s it. Lack of confidence. Why don’t you look it up.

Not sure if I’m introverted, but being in moderate to large crowds, over 8 ppl, totally drains my energy, so personally, that’s why I avoid gatherings too often. Or I’ll just make a short appearance, and jet out.

I just generally find people to be hateful and it's contagious. Rather stick to myself, but people that aren't hateful I enjoy the company most the time.

No, people suck and we would just prefer to not interact with them. I'm the typical introvert playing with the dogs at the party. They are way more fun and interesting

I am an "introverted extrovert". It is a pretty uncommon thing, but it sounds really edgy to say. I am pretty special.
