I'm definitely an introvert. I don't like strangers. At all. One way this manifests itself is I don't remember the first time I met anyone: you, my wife, my favorite college roommates who tapped me for best man duties. I like showing up at the start of parties, when there are just a smattering of people and the party hasn't "gotten going" yet. But extroverts don't drive me nuts. In very busy parties, with people I know, I will often be quiet and just enjoy the performances of extroverts talented in party improvisation.
The virtual world is definitely a boon to me because I do not have the nagging feeling that I am imposing on people. And it definitely, without a doubt, makes me feel and be more connected. I would never call 90% of the people on my friends list, but livejournal keeps them from slipping into the stranger category.

Your post reminded me of a favorite comic strip.
