Does creative = Shy, or introvert personality?

I’m shy.

Or maybe I’m at least something of an introvert… From what I’ve read that’s pretty common for people with an interest in artwork, writing, or other creative things… Have y’all found that to be true?

I cannot say for a certainty because my pool of interaction with other artists is mostly restricted to people I’ve known for so many years that I couldn’t tell either way. I know there’s always the ones that can hide how shy they are very well. (Which I seem to, though I still have trouble with it sometimes.)

What do you think? Is the characteristic of creative people being introverts (or shy) just another label, or something you’ve seen as a predominate trait?
