I get the feeling that a lot of people, including some here, do not really know what introversion is. It is not a pathological condition like social anxiety, nor is it shyness, though I assume a lot of people who suffer from social anxiety or are shy are introverted; it is simply the personal preference for more reserved or solitary circumstances or environments. Wikipedia actually has a very good crash course on extraversion and introversion for anyone who is interested.

I prefere not to be sociable or go to public places were there alot of people or large crowds. I hate shopping , I am in and out as quickly as possible. I just don't like people . I am an introvert or just weird?

Probably both. 
@StevenWilbur thank you
I agree, lots of people do not know the diff and I no longer try to explain it to them. Kinda reminds me of talking to religious peeps.
I do wish that people understood that there is nothing wrong with introversion and that introverts do not need to be fixed.

Good comment. Introversion and extroversion exist on a sliding scale of personality. Social anxiety disorder is a disorder that can greatly change the quality of life and cause misery for the sufferer.
