Your 'most introverts have..' statement is not true at all, except in your reality. I have had all of those issues myself and I don't have much of a problem anymore. I have no problem sitting in my house for a few weeks working by myself and then going out to socialize when I want to.
Like last night I went and had tea for a friends birthday, had fun even though I wasn't the crazy life of the party and I also got the waitresses number.
It's not only possible for extroverts!
Also think about what Shannon has reported, I believe he is an introvert but is able to go out and socialize confidently.

Well i don't honestly think i would become a completely new person if i became an extrovert.
I would still be able to do the things i like but talking and blending with people wouldn't be such a pain.So i would become a much better person if i could become more socially open,more talkative,more confident etc...
Our society doesn't value introvercy but during grade school,highschool,college and things beside those, literally nobody liked someone who is introvert.Nobody! So it's not about society it's reality.That hurt me, as i got older i realise how much of an outsider i always was.I had problems with girl cause i had to find introvert or normal girls, so extrovert girls were always out of the question for me.They would suck the life out of me with all the talk.Plus i had to talk back a lot so it was like a boxing match where you are in round 10 without gass waiting to get knocked out.I had one girlfriend who was ectrovert, it was huge pain for me.Never again unless i improve.
