What do you call someone who don t like being around others

[DreamWeaver]

I'm looking for some help and advice on 'What do you call someone who don't like being around others?' I'm trying to find out what term should be used for a person who prefers to be alone, or who shies away from social situations. Is there a specific term for this, or are there multiple terms that can be used? What do other people think? Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.

The answer to this question is "introvert." An introvert is someone who prefers to spend time alone or in small groups and avoids large social gatherings. They often find socializing to be draining and prefer to spend their time alone or with a select few close friends. Introverts often find large groups of people to be overwhelming and may feel uncomfortable in large gatherings.
