> Many of the traits the article mistakenly attributes to introverts (don’t like seeing unknown phone numbers calling / uncomfortable in the company of new people / hate being in the center of attention / go through hell every time they have to ask unknown people something / are ready to die visiting a party) are not traits I recognise in myself or in other introverted friends – I’d argue that they are just examples of people being socially awkward, or shy, which is different. Being introverted myself and having many of the difficulties listed above and having seen similar behavior from other introverted people I've met, I'd say that the article is correct and those are indeed traits of introversion.
