I lean to the introverted side. I really enjoy meeting new people and getting to know folks one-on-one or in small groups, but I really do not do well at parties where I don’t know people. I am not the guy who walks in and works the room.
I’m similar in that I like addressing groups. I don’t always feel at ease about it, but from the feedback I get, I seem to be pretty good at it. I also like parties where I can interact with people. But then sometimes I would prefer to be off in a more intimate subset of the party.
Generally before the party, I tend to like just relaxing by myself at home or just doing my thing. But then too much of that, I kind of get the need to be around people.
From what I’ve read, most people are somewhere in the middle; it’s a bell curve, like a lot of things. Classifying people as one or the other is like dividing people between “tall” and “short.”
I’ve taken the Meyers-Briggs test several times, because I have an inexplicable fascination with pseudoscientific navel-gazing, I guess. (What personality type is that?) I get introvert half the time, extrovert the other half, always just barely over the line.
I for one regard myself a natural extrovert who has become introverted for practical reasons.
In these curious times I am a subscriber to the COVIDSafe tracking app used in Australia.
Was just sent me a message that the tracking hadn’t made contact with any other device in the last 48 hours and if I could check that the app was still working on my smartphone.
It’s working OK. Apart from a couple of skype calls for work I haven’t spoken to or been within several metres of anybody in the past couple of days.
Social distancing seems to be my default. 
Sounds like me! I can be the life of the party, but it’s an rare combination of circumstances that would cause it to happen.
I’m not literally the shyest, most introverted, socially unintelligent, anxious person in the world, but I am on the spectrum in them all and combined they’re a real bitch.
The lockdown/social isolation has shown me the limits of my introversion. During the first few weeks of the lockdown there were days where I wouldn’t see anyone at all and I was okay with that, the only limiting thing I dislike is the smallness of my one bedroom apartment which I didn’t plan on living most of the time in.
The limits of my introversion were realized when my mom and I agreed to talk each week on the phone to make sure we’re still alive. Now that things are opening back up, we haven’t stopped, and now, I don’t want to stop, because the social interaction makes up for the drainingness of talking to someone else in a medium where you can’t see their face for context. When I was around people all the time at the office, I didn’t feel like calling people at all because being around people, and especially calling them, is draining to me.
