That’s how it starts out, but decades later you’re not shy anymore, you’re just lazy in starting a conversation and rely on others who have much less inertia.
I gotta admit I’m pretty confused with these labels. I thought intro/extro were labels applied to behaviours of people, not some intrinsic want.
E.g. if you have social anxiety or were shy, driving you to stay indoors and not interact no matter how much you wanted to, that’s introverted.
I spent most of my life like that, at peace with my own hobbies, and happy to be left alone, but later in life overcame my social issues and developed a slow rapport with people, that then turned into enjoying others company.
It sounds like you’re shy, not introverted.
Introverts need social interaction too, just less of it.

I also love my extrovees

Where does it imply that he’s an extrovert?
People far too often confuse introversion with social anxiety. It’s becoming my biggest pet peeve.
