Sure, everyone responds to things differently but you can't just say "all introverts are one way and all extroverts are another". Extroverts are definitely capable of embarrassment, and yeah, it's the same 'kind' as yours. Extroverts were bullied in school. Extroverts have anxiety, depression, and other disorders that affect the way they interact with people. All 'extrovert' means is 'someone who feels energized when around other people', it doesn't mean they are naturally good at all social interaction.

For reference I'm an introvert who loves going to huge events and talking to a lot of people, but needs a lot of rest afterwards. And I don't know how long you feel embarrassment but over the years I've kinda taught myself not to be embarrassed about things that happened years ago? But sometimes it still happens, and I don't see why it couldn't happen to someone who was extroverted.

I should have made it more clear that I wasn't trying to make any kind of universal judgment about extroverts and introverts. Should have been clear.

But sometimes it still happens, and I don't see why it couldn't happen to someone who was extroverted.

The point I was trying to make, I think, was pretty much this: I don't see why it couldn't happen, but I also don't see why it necessarily has to happen that way for everyone, either. I don't want to assume that everyone functions the same, and that's what I read Chard's post as doing (possibly misreading it).

I read a book called " The Introverts Dilemma." According to the book, an introvert is someone who gains energy in being alone and is often more interested in the depth of subject then breadth. Extroverts, on the other hand gain energy from being with people and are generally interested in the breadth of a subject.

Extroversion and Introversion is mostly a spectrum. There are plenty of social introverts and shy extroverts. In the book there was a section about how the worst possible thing to be was a extrovert with social anxiety because you couldn't recharge yourself without being in pain. Introversion/extroversion is all about where you get your energy from, and not necessarily about how well you actually do with people.
