An introvert is someone who is quiet, often a bit shy, and does not enjoy being with lots of other people — that is the learner-book picture, and it is how many English speakers use the word. Though actually, in psychology an introvert is someone who turns inward: they think first, they recharge alone, and a long party can wear them out even when they like the people there.

Extraverts (also spelled ; both are common) are the other way round. Introvert is usually a noun (She is an introvert). People also use it like an adjective (an introvert child), though careful writing often prefers introverted there.

Jung popularized it as a mind-science term; magazines and social media now use it constantly, sometimes too loosely, as a team badge rather than a tendency. It is not an insult in itself, though it can be said that way if someone means “boring” or “” — which misses the point.
