A lot of people think an introvert is someone quiet or reclusive, but introverts are usually the opposite, since people often think they are extraverts. Actually, a lot of the misinformation about introverts comes from introverts, which is why people tend to think introverts fit a certain mold.
Guys like Hitler or Noriega were not wallflowers, they tended to be social butterflies, especially at parties. Noriega in particular would've seemed to be what some people would call progressive, he spent lots of time around the LGBT community and was supportive of them. He was an introvert, but he never really told anybody who he really was or what he really did because he didn't have an honest bone in his body, not because he was an introvert.

Get the introvert mug.Contrary to the misinformation perpetuated by introverts about introverts, people don't become more introverted at different times in their life, and more extroverted at others. You're either an introvert all the time or you're not, since it's possible for anyone, including introverts, to be outgoing at times (which isn't the same as being an extrovert or becoming one).
An asshole can be nice, but that doesn't change the nature of who he/she is, an asshole doesn't become something else by being nice for a while. It works the same way with an introvert, an introvert doesn't become more introverted or more extroverted at times, the person's nature is always the same.

Get the introvert mug.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.
