Is it possible to be not shy but be introvert? I think it's possible. I know most outgoing people are not shy. I'm a huge introvert but I don't think that it would affect my SA recovery that much.
It is possible yes. To be an introvert does not mean that a person is socially awkward. That is simply the stereotype associated with introverts. If anything, introverts can be as extroverted as the rest, however introverts will also desire more time for themselves. Social events will drain energy rather than invigorate introverts most of the time. However shyness and introversion do not go hand in hand.
