There's no such thing as an introverted extrovert. A person who describes himself/herself as an introverted extrovert does so to keep people who don't know he/she is really an introvert from knowing that he/she is not the extrovert some people think he/she is.
Lindsay had found empowerment in convincing people around her she was an open extrovert since she was young, though she had always been an introvert. She would describe herself to other people as an introverted extrovert to keep from losing people who remained close to her that thought she was really an extrovert, since she couldn't handle being alone. She even pretended to be there for other people her entire life for the same reason, she couldn't handle being alone. It never really mattered to her how much damage was done to other people's lives, as long as she didn't end up alone herself, everything would be okay in her mind.

One who is an introvert and capable of socialization. The term is largely pointless and self-applied by people who don't understand that introverts are not inherently incapable of socializing.

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.
“I don’t know anyone at this party but I’m an extroverted-introvert so I don’t think it’ll be too awkward”
