I feel these are standard human emotions when there is already enough stressors out in life. Having some personal space, some quiet or some alone time is refreshing for everyone at times. The pushing of "introvert vs. extrovert" seems a bit too extreme.

Not uncommon to have a little anxiety if you're severely introverted, I think. But yeah, for me being introverted is more about getting tired when being around a lot of people over some amount of time, and enjoying my own company. I do enjoy some socialization from time to time, though! Just not a lot.

It isn't. I'm an introvert but I didn't relate to most of them. I do engage in social interactions, just don't feel too comfortable at doing it, but I don't sweat it. I /suppose/ social anxiety will make every social interaction seem like a total nightmare, so it's a whole new level. But that's my common sense speaking!

I have social anxiety and I related to every one of these. I guess I don't know what it's like to be an introvert without social anxiety.

Yeah, like most people who spend a lot of time online, I am introverted and none of these ring true for me. Seems like social anxiety.

Not quite anxieaty. It's more like we love/preffer being alone, but we still do well in the presence of others.

Not really. Introverts tend to observe rather than participate. But they are not necessarily anxious. They just prefer their own company. The people in these example are shy and/or very anxious and like to think that they are introverts, because it's easier to accept. But probably the issue is somewhere else.
