Anybody else discover they're an introvert?

This is completely me. My activities are totally introverted. (reading, knitting and crafts, writing, practicing musical instruments).
And I am not "shy". get me going on a topic and I sometimes run the risk of over-talking.
It's just that I have a very
low threshold for actually attending "social events".
I prefer more intimate groups of 2-4, and there has to be enough of a background relationship that people understand if I am knitting it doesn't mean I am ignoring them. But I love me some peace and quiet and being able to be in the driver's seat for "what to do".
I tend not to seek out high-maintenance friendships anyway, so getting pressured by people is not a big part of my life these days, but I do occasionally get odd looks for choosing reading over going out on the cliched social evenings. (if someone doesn't know me too well)
