According to Socionics, each of us has a certain psychological type. Trying to act as another type can be from mildly irritating to damn right frustrating.
Acting in alignment with your type is a very satisfying experience and from a psychological point of view is what is indicated.
The whole introvert/extrovert thing is seriously misunderstood. To people wanting to know more about this I recommend at least the description found on
