Have you always been an introvert?
My dad has always been easy to navigate different social scenes. He fits in just about everywhere. But as Parkinson’s progresses, I think he’s come to prefer more introverted settings. I suspect that he always identified as an introvert, and that he just leaned more into his tendencies recently. But I’d love to hear about your experience.
Have you always been an introvert? Do you still find ways to socialize? If you’ve changed, what do you think it was that caused the change?

Yes I have. It seems that dopaminergic response may explain this.
There is some interesting research on the subject:
