Yeah, I can understand that.
I also think that shyness is also misinterpreted as an active dislike of people. I've had people avoid me, because they think that if they make me anxious, that will make me miserable.
This is a TERRIBLE thing to do to a person, however. Everyone seeks company and friendship. I may be an introvert, but the only thing you show me by avoiding me because I'm quiet and shy is that YOU are a terrible, hurtful, and judgmental person. It does screen out the fareweather friends, but the amount of so-called "friends" that have stabbed me in the back over the years makes me really depressed sometimes.
