(include opinion if you want)

Introvert- shy
extrovert- outgoing

Answer 2

Those people who take social gatherings to the extreme of both ends of the scale.

Extroverts think that they NEED to always be a part of a group (and usually the life of that group) in order to function.

Whereas introverts immediately shut-down when they are meeting new people or in a highly social situation. They think they cannot function in a group setting, so they isolate themselves.

An introvert thinks more and that closes his or hers mouth, an extrovert thinks less and talks more, neither one is better.
