There is also the concept of simply being reclusive.
I am gregarious and extraverted when around others. But I always need to recuperate afterwards. I need to re-center in my own space. I spend a LOT of time alone and love it. I do not think of myself as introverted, rather, I am reclusive for many reasons. Some of those reasons are the erratic and dramatic and negative energies of others and other places; the cruelty in the world; the ubiquitous (brainwashing) media; etc.
Screw the labels. Just do what feels right for you. It's empowering. If you have a twinge that being reclusive isn't serving you in some way, deal with it then, with courage and self-honesty.
