I consider myself pretty introverted but I'm also pretty conflict-averse, which means that myth #3 doesn't apply at all, at least to me -- if anything, I tend to be overly polite with people. And I know lots of introverts who are the same way.
The introvert-extrovert axis is a great tool for understanding behavior, but don't just assume that every angle of your personality arises from where you are on that spectrum.

However sometimes I find myself in conversations where I might for example not respond to something someone says, and rather just reflect on it in my own mind as I don't really have anything meaningful to add. This makes perfect sense in my head where two different "conversations", internal and external are going on, but I realize that in real life it's pretty awkward.
