Extro-Introvert

Someone who enjoys both virtual and social interactivity/communication.
I would consider myself more of an Extro-Introvert.

obligate introvert 

Someone who "opts out" of plenty potential social situations, regardless of whether they do want to participate or not—opts out not by their own will, but because they "have to" because of unchangeable or similar circumstances.
Susie is an obligate introvert; instead of following a proper public school education, due to a myriad of sensible reasons, she learns shit at home using Acellus, Wikipedia, her parents' biased political opinions, reality shows, and homeschool textbooks. The downside or "opportunity cost" of this is that she is unable to make friends face-to-face at school. She instead meets them mostly on the internet...

Closet introvert 

Someone that isn't openly the introvert they really are. Someone that comes across as bold to people that don't know them well, and mouthy to people that knew them growing up.
The introvert seemed like a bold extrovert to people that didn't know her well growing up, that was certainly her image with them, and because she benefitted from it in many ways, she wasn't going to tell anyone that didn't know her well from growing up around her that she wasn't actually an extrovert at all, she was a closet introvert.

closeted introvert 

A person who defines themselves as an introvert but everyone views them as an extrovert or, a person who hates socialising but does it anyways for reasons like people pleasing or social anxiety
Them: you’re such an extrovert you talk to so many people
Me: nah I hate talking to people but I do it cause I’m a people pleaser

Them: oh so you’re a closeted introvert

Extroverted-Introvert 

Someone who is does have the right social skills to be around people, but are still more comfortable when on their own & would prefer to be alone. They’re typically pretty light on conversation with strangers but show far better social qualities when around people they’re more familiar with.
