Is being shy and being an introvert two different things?

Shy is more not knowing how to talk, so you get embarrassed and clam up. Being introverted is preferring not to socialize. Not able to vs don't want to. Being shy is more easily fixed, but if you pretend long enough, you can become extroverted as well. Either way, just practice socializing and f*ck your inhibitions.

YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS FULL OF CRAP I'M SURE SHE IS QUALIFIED TO DIAGNOSE YOU AS ANTI-SOCIAL, SEEING AS HOW SHE IS A BOARD CERTIFIED PSYCOLOGIST. Being shy is completely different than being anti-social. I used to date a girl that would say the same things about me. I am, by all means, not anti-social. I will converse with anyone friendly enough to talk to a stranger. I would say that I am shy because I don't go to people and start conversations with people I don't know, but I don't hate/fear everyone I see. Some people are introverted some are extroverted. Extroverts tend to be the ones that start the conversations because they are out-going. Introverts tend to stay inside thier own heads. Just because you are a bit introverted doesn't mean that you are anti-social. It just means that you can be perfectly happy by yourself because your brain can actually keep yourself entertained. Where as an extroverted person cannot entertain themselves. They need others around them. Be it because they are insecure or just lonely. Anti-social behavior is when you hate and or fear the outside world so much that you never interact with it or plan to do harm to it. YOU NEED TO DUMP THAT GIRLFRIEND. IF YOU TEND TO BE THE TYPE THAT LIKES TO JUST CHILL AND SHE NEEDS TO GO TO PARTIES AND CLUBS ALL THE TIME THEN SHE WILL EVENTUALLY CHEAT ON YOU WITH SOMEONE THAT DOES LIKE TO GO TO PARTIES AND CLUBS ALL THE TIME.

Being shy is usually just a person who will blush a lot

and talk quietly .

Introverts however, normally don't talk a lot at all

and dislike being around many people.

Normally because they are so scared that they will do something stupid,

so it's easier just not going out at all.

At least, that's how I feel. (Is a introvert)

Yes. Being shy is just where you are awkward around people, but being an introvert means you think more about yourself (Not conceited, you just don't think of people a lot) and you don't really like being social.

You can change, but it's hard, because it is most likely just part of who you are.

Yes. Im an introvert but I'm not shy.

yeas. being shy implies you are scared or too quiet to do things. being introverted means more or less you are less likely to express yourself and be extroverted although there may or may not be any fear attached to your introversion.

Yes. I'm not shy at all and I prefer my own company. I find people annoying and tiring.
