> I guess I'm an introvert

uh, you're sweating and freaking out when you're interacting with people. that isn't introversion, that's social anxiety or some other undiagnosed condition.

Interacting with people is not a problem, if there's something meaningful to do. Like working together. I very much enjoy spending time with my family and closest friends.

Socializing with strangers is boring and stressful, and I choose not to do it if possible. I don't feel like this is a condition that needs to be diagnosed and fixed :)

Why can't it be both? Everyone is either an introvert or an extrovert, and they sure don't sound like an extrovert, so...

Of course, I'm not a trained psychologist and neither are you probably, so neither of us are qualified to say either way.
