There's only really two things that end up fitting the title:

Actual extroverts who claim to be introverted which is really incredibly rare (and in my experience, have all been pathological liars elsewhere too).

Introverts that aren't shy.

I am introvert. I could probably still talk your ear off if I am in the mood and have something to talk about. But it is mentally draining being around people and I always need lots of alone time to recharge.

Conversely, an extrovert could be shy and quiet but is recharging by just being around people. Maybe they're just not in the right mood because they were alone too long, which is mentally draining for them.

The terms do not have much to do with how engaged you are with others.
