I know how you feel! My mom and dad seriously hate seeing me anti-social (I'm not really, but one might guess that) and not talkative. The thing is, we introverts like to be alone and gather our thoughts for ourselves. I personally don't think being "shy" is a bad thing, it just comes to show that sometimes one person doesn't want to jump around people 24/7. Being introverted doesn't add to my depression, but I still accept it in my life. When one is to him or herself, they can think clearly or let their thoughts drift with the wind, you know?

Nice to meet you! From a fellow Introvert, there's no shame! ^_^
