I am a bizarre mix of extrovert and introvert. My natural state is introvert, but I'm a great actor. I still haven't sorted out what is the true me. Lack of confidence contributes tot he introvert side, but at other times I am so confident and extroverted I can scare people.
I think a bit of this has to do with how many ways people use the words introvert and extrovert as well as that we aren't constrained to be one way or the other.
I know what you mean on all three points. I have really been stung on the empathy/connection front, which leads me, sometimes, to hold back when I'm not sure that I should.
I have felt hurt and stupid when I thought there was a friendship where there wasn't one. I don't think I am going to hold back because finding a good friend seems to worth the potential pain but I really need to make sure I am not deluding myself into feeling something that hasn't begun.

It's confusing.
