People often equate introvert to mean "doesn't prefer to be around people" and extroverts to mean "loves to be around people", but that's essentially a myth.
The best layman explanation I have heard is that extroverts are "recharged" by being around others whereas introverts recharge by being alone. For example, I really like being around people, but the idea of not having time to myself to recharge can be exhausting.
