Solitary or Sociable?

Solitary and sociable are an example of basic terms for introvert and extrovert. Introverts are usually quiet and not a fan of large groups or social activities and more like to reflect on things/events by themselves. Whereas extroverts are more outgoing and like being with large groups and recharge and feel comfortable with social activities.
I personally view myself as an introvert given that I am quiet and shy and not one to shout to be noticed. I enjoy doing activities that do not include others like reading, writing, and drawing with either silence or having music play softly in the background. Lately, I feel a little overwhelmed with large groups/crowds of people because usually everyone is so much bigger and louder than I am. I am mostly my own person, not following the latest fashion or new trends. I do and pick things that I love and not what is popular or anything like that. In truth I could careless but sometimes there are new things that I like and I choose to like them because I can, not because it seems like I have to.
I do believe introversion and extroversion are a vital factor in this world. It creates diversity in many forms and in different variations of the some forms. Without introverts and extroverts everyone would be the same basically and a dull world that would be. There would not be as many point of views and thoughts that could be appreciated for how unique they are. Most likely there would be the same views but with some slight differences here and there. Overall the world is mostly balanced and has diversity due to introverts and extroverts being so different to also having many similar qualities.
