I am 68 and just realized a year ago that I am an introvert. I thought I was an extrovert because I could chat & make small talk although within minutes I was fidgeting & anxious to get away. I assumed there was something wrong with me. I thought I just didn't know how to get away gracefully & certain I was a dull, boring woman. Now, we decline a lot of invites unless it is a small group or another couple. I am so much happier. I Know who I am & can control my life (sort of)!!
