Who else identifies as an introvert? It’s not that I panic in public situations; I just feel overwhelmed in crowds and usually prefer one on one conversation.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.This is me to a T. The really good thing about the pandemic this past year is that I was able to telework, which I find a lot more beneficial to my well being. At the office, I constantly had to make small talk, which I loathe doing, and dealing with face to face meetings. Now, I can choose to mute and shut off my camera during Teams meetings. And I don't do well in public situations; I prefer to be in the background doing my work. It's not that I can't work in groups, because I can, it's just that I prefer not to be the center of all attention. Just tell me what I need to do and I'll do it. Some people thrive at those situations, being able to take the lead. I prefer to work alone or in small groups.

I am a mix of introvert and extrovert, but lean more extrovert.
Like all personality traits, extroversion and introversion are on a wide spectrum.

Not me, but I generally prefer one on one interactions rather than a group social situation. I am more comfortable and relaxed in the former situation where I can go with the give and take and concentrate better on the conversation. As I understand it, a true introvert would prefer alone time to even a one on one social situation. I enjoy some alone time, but I enjoy time with a friend or partner more.

You are correct about introverts preferring alone time. I prefer alone time but I know that must interact with others for a healthy balanced life and mental health.
And it’s good to hear other people’s opinions sometimes.
One of my regular restaurants when in Austin, pre pandemic, on cooler days, when I’m in the mood for TexMex!
