Another misconception about introverts is that we’re all shy. But that’s simply not true. Introversion and shyness are two different things. If you’re shy, you fear being judged negatively by others; you may frequently feel bashful, timid, nervous, and insecure in social settings, as well as experience physical sensations, such as blushing or feeling shaky and breathless. If you’re an introvert, you simply prefer calm, low-key environments.
