To say that an introvert is "shy" or "self-conscious" is incorrect. Introverts can be very gregarious and confident. They just gain their energy from spending time alone.

The terms introvert and extrovert (also spelled extravert) refer to a personality factor expressed in traits such as warmth, gregariousness, assertiveness, activity, and excitement seeking.

Introverts are "geared to inspect" rather than to act in social settings. In a large social setting, introverts tend to be quiet, low-key, deliberate, and engaged in non-social activities. Conversely, introverts gain energy when alone performing solitary activities. Thus they tend to enjoy reading, writing, watching movies at home, inventing, and designing - and doing these activities in quiet, minimally socially interactive environment such as home, library, labs, and quiet coffee shops. While introverts avoid social situations with large numbers of people, they tend to enjoy intense, one-to-one or one-to-few social interactions. They tend to have small circle of very close friends, compared to the extroverts' typically larger circle of less-close friends.

Hope this helps!
