Yes; I was talking to someone last night about how we were introduced to the introvert/extrovert distinction very early on in school. I think it was meant to tell the shy kids it was OK, but it felt sort of like I'd been diagnosed with something benign but chronic, too.
I totally understand why moving would freak you out. It freaks me out, because I never know if I'm actually going to be up to meeting anyone new, something which I think only gets harder as we get older.
I'm not sure if people think of me as snotty--standoffish, probably. I've been told that I act like I'm smarter than everyone else, which is another bad one.
