I believe myself to be an ambivert with a strong leaning to introversion. Human interaction is exhausting! But I do realize I vary. For example, there are times where going to a brewery with a group of people sounds great. Sometimes I look forward to a big housewarming party coming up. And sometimes just sitting at some binging Netflix is what sounds the best. But I do realize that if I attend that large party or some other get-together, I'm "good"for awhile. I've had enough interaction, small-talk, and human energy to last me a bit.
Like other posters, my DH definitely balances me out. He is more extroverted and social and will learn someone's entire life story while in the grocery store checkout line. He's just that person.
To me, introversion can be a literal quiet strength. I like people, but I need to be alone. I don't rely on others for stimulation or happiness. I'm pretty much never bored or truly lonely. I've always been very independent (another trait I consider a strength!), and have no issues doing most things by myself if needed. One of my favorite quotes is "don't underestimate me because I'm quiet. I know more than I say, think more than I speak, and observe more than you know." Describes me perfectly.
