What is it like to be an introvert?

For me being introverted is simply being happy all by myself. I enjoy my own company just as much and sometimes even more than being around others. All my favorite activities tend to be solitary and I prefer going to places that will have people I know and am comfortable with.
While I do like (new) people, I can often forget to reach out to them. It sometimes makes it hard to make new friends. Being introverted means I spend a lot of my time thinking, trying to figure out myself and the world. Which makes it difficult to make small talk. I rarely feel lonely when I am alone but often feel isolated in large crowds.
