In a similar fashion to a few comments above, you may be conflating shyness for introversion. One can be introverted and social at the same time. Presentations specifically are a very different form of social interaction than ad-hoc interaction with large groups; one involves speaking _to_ people while the other involves speaking _with_ people. For example, I rank pretty high on the "I" side of the MBTI[1] but I enjoy giving presentations and speeches and I'm even a member of a Toastmasters club [2]. Given the choice of presenting organized information to a group versus chatting up a bunch of partygoers, I will almost always choose the former.

I think it's pretty amusing that you've decided to interpret a mass of comments from people who find this idea ridiculous as an opportunity to educate us all about the distinction between introversion and shyness. Clearly if this distinction is meaningful, this idea will be a big hit. When it instead falters, will you consider the possibility that perhaps you're just unusual, rather than that we are all uneducated?

aashay is hardly the first person to decide the distinction is meaningful:
