I’m not sure that a real introvert would even be INTERESTED in meeting with anyone else. I mean even in theory. An introvert is interested only in the internal matters not externalities.
One point of interest is that it is an annual meeting meaning they only have to suffer through this once a year. Better than AA where you are supposed to attend meetings once a week at a minimum. Second point is that the community appears to only have one admitted introvert. If so, he only needs to avoid the crowd when everyone else gets together.
And to just be pedantic, an extrovert is someone who is energized by being in a crowd, ie they enjoy it and feel benefitted by the crowd. The introvert conversely feels enervated or drained by being in a crowd. It really has little to do with liking or disliking people. It is simply the “crowd” aspect that bothers introverts. For example, an introvert may love being with various family members in small numbers but a huge family reunion would drive them around the bend no matter how much they like the people individually.
I’m an introvert and not ashamed to admit it, with my anxiety I just can’t stand being around too many people or I will go into a panic attack ( medically called social anxiety), I never had a problem with the isolation part when Covid started because I hardly went anywhere already.

How many introverts does it take to change a lightbulb?
Why does it have to be a group activity?

I don’t see how introverts can vote for Bernie.
I would figure they want anti-socialism.

Did you hear about the introvert who was so happy living in Antarctica?
He was ice elated.

I may be an introvert, but I have a fairly successful ore industry.

What do we call introverts?
Social vegans who avoid ‘meet’.

I don’t think most introverts are fearful; I think many just don’t fear being alone, and refuse to waste time with meaningless small talk.
