There’s more than one meaning of “introversion”, and it’s not the same as being shy
8 Restrained introverts take a little while to get going.
Do you struggle to get going in the morning and hate it when someone invites you to something last-minute? You might be a restrained introvert. Restrained introverts prefer to think before they speak and make plans rather than be spontaneous.
Cheek and his colleagues originally called this meaning “inhibited” introversion, but “reserved” is also a good word to use.[8]
