yes.
hehehe, we live to be happy, not to bust our asses off, we cant be happy without friends
I think its ok to be introverted but only if thats what you really are and if only its your true self, not because you have no other choice. Beign introverted because you are emotionally unestable, or shy, or lack social skills is not healthy introvertion, its harmfull introvertion, so if you think introvertion is harming to you in any way, or you dont enjoy it, or you think you are capable of something else, just work on your issues who are keeping you in that un-wanted introvertion. If you lack social skills i recommend you a book that i am still reading and wich is great, it can change your life, its called "how to make friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie, it will teach you what you need, it accomplishes what it promises.
