I am very reluctant to approach strangers, and am generally shy and quiet. It gets to the point where I'll go out of my way to get an elevator all to myself. Many other EIIs, both IRL and who I've encountered on the internet, experience this too. I would say introversion can possibly go into it, over thinking with fi and ne what can happen. It is mainly social anxiety that goes into this, and the extreme introversion aspect. Probably others who are extreme on the introversion train regardless of type experience this too. Different types may express it differently though.
Some have more of a people need than others, but approaching people can be nervewracking. Introducing myself to people doesn't always come naturally and it takes me a long time to warm up to new people. I'm fine when other people introduce me though.
