Many people say (even just in these comments) that they're introverted but real life relationships are very valuable to them. So either all those people are wrong about being introverts ("no true introvert"), or perhaps those people that are introverted and don't value real life relationships or even see them as a "cost center" are more than just introverted.

That's not a value judgement, btw.

Being introverted and "not valuing" real life relationships are orthogonal things. I can value some real life relationships, but for the most part it's not that I don't value them as much as that I don't value them more than "virtual" relationships for the most part, and they're less draining because it's easier to pace them and shut it out when it's too much.
