    You can be an introvert and be talkative, and you can be an extrovert and be shy.

    It’s all how you recharge your social battery.

    I consider myself to be an introvert, but I’m very talkative in social situations. Sometimes I can’t shut the fuck up. When I’m done hanging out though, I’m sitting in a dark room for a few days playing video games not hanging with anyone.

    I worked with a guy who drove 50 miles to come into the office just so he could be around people, but hardly said anything to anyone.

      I’m the same, I like my space and the ability to distance myself but when I’m in the mood I can talk and socialize for hours. Then I withdraw for a while
