I made another poll due to the confusion of what people thought were introverts or extroverts. I am also adding in ambiverts.
INTROVERSION DOES NOT MEAN SHY!!
Introverts: "Contrary to what most people think, an introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! ... Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people. Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. They often avoid social situations because being around people drains their energy. This is true even if they have good social skills. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to 'recharge.'" rest of the definition at http://giftedkids.about.com/od/glossary/g/introvert.htm
Same confusion with Introversion- "friendly" and "outgoing" is not the true meaning of extroversion.
Extroverts: "Most people believe that an extrovert is a person who is friendly and outgoing. While that may be true, that is not the true meaning of extroversion. Basically, an extrovert is a person who is energized by being around other people. This is the opposite of an introvert who is energized by being alone"

Ambiverts: Have both extroverted and introverted traits
Note, when I say "I like it", I don't necessarily on a romantic level, though you may choose for that

If you do not know what INTP means, I suggest Googling it as it would help you better understand who I am. Insert incentive here.
I wish I could say that I am comfortable with what I am, but the introvert that the rest of the world sees is not the individual I wish they could.
