Introverts are exactly opposite to what you have described; they are uncomfortable at social events.
I have the exact opposite problem to what you have described. I am uncomfortable at social gatherings, but somewhat okayish at online discussions. It takes me a lot of mental preparation to attend any event so that I don't stand in a corner or outside the event venue during the event. It is not that I don't mingle with other participants, but it takes me extra efforts to do so and it just seems like I have to fake it. And it shows and the conversations don't seem natural(I think this happens to you when you are online).

Online communication leaves so much more space for speculation on how something might have been meant. It can increase fear if there's too much room for imagination. So for me it's in some way understandable that an introvert has trouble with staying in touch with people online.
