This honestly sounds like one of those special snowflake things, I agree, but this is very much real and very much me. People at work would never expect this unless I say no to going to a work party or something, they think I'm social and just the strangest person ever, but not the hermit I am when I'm able to avoid social places altogether. And, oh boy, when I have the choice of not going to a remotely social event or outside, I will always choose to stay home and away from people.

I'm whatever that person is regardless of the correct term.

I agree. I feel like this applies to me as well.

In all honesty, I feel like that person's description actually applies to most people (i.e. can be social when needed but usually wants to be left alone). I can only think of a few exceptions from people that I know that ALWAYS want to be around people. People who are anti-social typically just choose to be it. It's not like they don't know how to be social.

This article just shows the complexity of humanity beyond simple labels of "introvert" and "extrovert". But to suggest that they created this third, new label just seems inaccurate to me.
