I don’t think it is telling you to be happy not making connections if you want to make connections with people. It is saying - don’t wait on others to come and change or complete you; you have to make the changes yourself first. In your situation; if you truly believe you need to stretch your skillset to be more extroverted at times, that is something you need to take personal responsibility for. You need to add to your capabilities through effort. So I don’t think it’s really saying you don’t need others ever; it’s saying don’t look to others to “fix” you; if you need to be less introverted at times, that’s something you can work to control.
