I don't know if I count as an introvert, but parties are difficult. People are difficult. That normal social interaction that everyone thinks is difficult.
The problem, though, is that for me, this does hurt me. I would be estatic if I'd found someone at my local barn that I could maybe go riding with or made a few friends that way. No dice. (Best dice is with online friends I have never physically met.)
When I change working environments, it takes me 6 months to a year before I can talk comfortably enough with people to do work.
Parties are difficult. I like people. A life at home in perpetuity is unappealing. I don't like loud parties. I find it difficult until I know people reasonably well.
Like Becca, I love it when you can do things online instead of asking a person.
As to whether I interact online, observe my (perhaps overly) prolific journalling.
