Which is why I responded to it.
Btw, people who need approval from others in most settings are suffering from low self-esteem, not extroversion. People who want approval from a real audience if their profession involves one, including an audience of judges in a competition of any type, are just feeling a normal desire to do well.
But I can see how a typical extrovert wanting to chat might leave an introvert not wanting to chat feeling that the extrovert wants too much attention (especially if they're living or working together, or spending much time together for any reason), even if the extrovert is just being sociable.
