It's hard. I'm an introvert, too.
I get stuck in the "in order to have friends/a relationship you must already have people in your life". Yeah, I dated a guy last year and he actually called me a loner! Ouch. It was hurtful. Yea, I am an introvert but I also have PTSD. Naturally I'd be a bit more social, but I go through frequent periods of isolation because I get anxious, overwhelmed, and then shut down. I DON'T choose to be completed alone.
